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!

Can't take the taste or smell of it any more, because all the torturous things the orthodonists used in my mouth were bubblegum flavored.

Wife and I used to occasionally get pina coladas at a restaurant near our apartment in Arlington. But they were never the same after the cancer treatments and all the "tropical flavored" barium I had to drink.

I love caramel apples.

Mmmmm... LOVE those! Haven't had one since I was a kid.

You Are Apple Cider
Smooth and comforting. But downright nasty when cold.

I can see how that would ruin the taste for you!

You're a Wild Drunk
You can get enough drink. Seriously, you'll just go puke and start pounding them back again!

You're A Passed Out Drunk
Drinking gives you that warm fuzzy feeling, until you're thrown in the back of a police car...

I couldn't help it. I had to stop and take this test.

You're A Crazy Drunk
When you drink, you get wrecked - and it ain't pretty.

Okay, I have Nanowrimo Mississippi questions:

One of my characters is a former Miss Mississippi (from the 60s). Questions:

Would "MacKenzie" be a valid Mississippi last name?

and

Her family is old money, but not necessarily old plantation money. Thoughts on where that money could have come from? Legitimately?

Discuss.
