The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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!

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I went to bed right after I posted to you last night. :-D

Hispanics wouldn't call her "Frannie" unless they were Americanized.

Depending on her age and station in life, most Cubans would either call her by her full name or take the latter part of the first name and shorten it to something cute like "CiCi".

OK, I actually sat through all of the video links and am now officially "deeply disturbed".

Alyson ran around the living room dancing for every song.

I'm playing with kittens this morning... we slept in. :~D

They're doing great... I cleared the room, put the dogs back with ecurbh (who is still sleeping) and the cat outside so they can run and play freely. Trying to get pictures, but they're really fast :~D

*laughing*

I remember when "Hatt Baby" made its rounds on FR back in the "all your base" days.

Lazamataz would post pictures of all sorts of different things with that silly cap on!

Tweek has settled down, she plays and runs around with the black one, Pippin. She still gets scared and hisses at the dogs, and us if the dogs are near, but she's fine. Pippin, though, is just fearless enough to get herself in trouble. I still don't let them romp around the dogs, the dogs are very gentle when we're holding the kittens, but get a kitten moving fast across the floor, and they look an awful lot like game. :~D

They're drinking a lot of the milk replacer, from a bowl. They're picking at the canned food, doing much better.

LMAO @ Pippin in that second pic.

Just who does she think she is anyway?
