The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Good evening... sounds like a great show.

We're home from the beach house.... went up to celebrate Dad's birthday though he wasn't much up to it. He's got a lot of pain in his shoulder, not sure why, but it kept him from sleeping last night or having much fun today.

Kids heal quick and it shouldn't affect her tomorrow, I wouldn't think.... Builds character... ;~D

hehehehe....

She's limping around on it when I put the splint on. She fell asleep a little while ago and I took it off so she'd be more comfortable.

I'll know what to expect in terms of healing time after I see the pediatrician tomorrow.

Hair - I hope your dad feels better soon. Is he the typical stubborn male who won't see a doctor?

Oh and Corin - no hard feelings, but does't "Corin Day" have a much better sound to it? ;-)

Yeah - he actually has this fear that it's shingles... and last time he had that, his initial pain was misdiagnosed as something else, so he's waiting to see if he breaks out before going in.

Make sense?

((Ruthy)) Sorry to hear about Alyson, hope she feels better soon!

We borrowed Ramius's DVDs of 24 Season One... Our free time for the week is now spoken for.

Eh - he's a dad... he'll only go if he thinks it's his idea.

Lucky you!

I still haven't seen it. :P

And thanks re: Alyson. Her foot is still way too swollen to wear a shoe, so I have a feeling the day care isn't going to want to deal with a brand new kid with a broken foot who can't even go out into the playground.

My job is just going to have to deal with my absence. I'll see if they'll let me work half days if I can find someone to watch her for a few hours.

What they say about kid's bones...if the pieces are in the same room, they'll heal :)

My little friend Emily (7) broke the same arm twice in six months last year...you wouldn't know her to see her trying to kill her big brother today :)(or me, for that matter)

Sometimes, the mediots get it right.

They probably had some psychologist on staff who has devised a formula for getting ratings out of red-staters.

My cynicism aside, I'm glad 1) they did that for the family and 2) put it on TV. *Nothing* is too good for our servicemen and women.

I totally missed that memo. *grumble*

I'd much rather be sleeping. Or at least at home where I have lots to do.

I'm here. It's amazing how much pi$$in' me off they can do before I've finished my first cup of coffee.

"Ruthy Days and Mondays" fits nicely in the keywords.
