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!

Hey, you know what...Joshua had a bit of a breakthrough today in school. It dawned on him that he can write anything. Or just about, anyway. He started toting a handwriting pad around and writing sentences on it. Mostly insults directed toward Matthew like "Matt is so fat." and "I am better than Matt." Ha ha! He thought it was hysterical and I couldn't believe he was taking the initiative to do it (although I made him stop insulting Matthew). His last sentence before he left for his overnight event was "I love you, Mom." I just found it on his bed.

:-)

That's the pic I'm recalling then. She's come a long way with your nurturing. :-D

Give her an extra belly rub for me too.

You leave the hurricane magnet turned on again?

I can't find Corin's favorite gif, so I'll settle for this:

:-P

This would be a terrific time for your sister to come and check out a hurricane.

The weather is nice this time of year. Well, except for tropical storms of course. *grin*

They were forecasting lows in the 50s! Ooooooh, so cold! hehehehe...

Gypsygirl comes home

I tried to find the old photo in my archive, but apparently it didn't get saved, unfortunately!

You're a treasure, Bear. Thanks for finding that post.

I wish the pic was still there, but that's impossible after a year and a half.

Amazing Bear, simply amazing. The Hobbit Hole is fortunate indeed to have a talented archivist such as yourself with us.

Gosh, that seems sooo long ago yet..

Maybe a second long sip for Misskitty would assist in that. Heck, I'd like to be able to sleep that late. Doesn't seem like it is in cards, I'm usually up at early-thirty.

That is one of the neatest things about the Hobbit Hole.

It's like a diary of our lives on these threads. We can go back anytime we like and relive a day, a week, etc.

Just cool and wonderful and just a wee bit creepy. ;-)

Unfortunately, unlike Gypsygirl's picture, we can't take 'em off the server...

That's why there's always FReepmail for the stuff you'd rather not share with the world. :-D

I'm usually up at earlier-thirty than I want to be. :)

Time for some hot chocolate and Carolan's.
