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!

That cat tent is really our laundry hamper. LOL, tonight, I did see a hot pink cat tent just like it and laughed out loud, loud enough that I got looks from my son and the Target associate.

Thank you. I think I have figured out that they are mirror images of each other as far as markings go. Still, their markings are almost symetrical in the first place, so I still need the color coded collars.

Since I already have a gray tabby, I wouldn't have picked these two myself. They picked us. The difference with them and Ben is that Ben has white toes (and he weighs about 15 pounds). They are lovely.They adore sleepng in a cat pile and being lap cats together. Right now they are Freeping with me, while Lily is giving her sister a bath. Lilly is aka Houdini. She is much more inquisitive.

Lilly's name is solid. KarateBoy doesn't like the name Rosie. Today we are trying out Esther and Ruthie to see how it roll's off the tongue.

I vote for Ruthie.

Of course. ;-)

I'm off to bed, chica.

Nighty night!

Miss him.

Clare suggested 'Yuri'; it's Lily in Japanese. Kinda fits the whole twin thing.

If that's a standard toilet seat cover, the kittens are already large, and Cartman is HUGH. Is there room on the desk to actually get any work done?

The sheepskin seat covers from my last Jimmy didn't fit the new one ("new"=1999), so I gave them to my cousin, who used them as vey luxurious cat beds.

Your new kitties greatly resemble my last kitties (1972-1988). One of them had more black, the other more brown. Sisters from the same litter. My sister and I (then 8 and 5) each picked and named one...then the cats each picked one of us to prefer, and effectively traded themselves, which is how I ended up with the cat with a name-- Stripey-- invented by a 5-year-old girl :)

It's a standard toilet seat cover...

The kittens are growing fast, and Cartman is, er... ~sizeable~ ;~D (21 pounds)

Luckily it's also a sizeable desk :~D We decided last night that they've outgrown all fitting on that toilet seat cover... and I found a nice folded fleece blanket that we think is going to work better from here on out. :~D

Guaranteed that the cats won't like it. (Cats are like that...) :)

My cat likes my laptop case as a cat bed.

Mornin'.

My mom had her cousin bring down some bags and boxes from the attic last week and I finally went through them yesterday.

Over a hundred romance novels from my teenage(+) years. LOL!

I'll have to cart them over to the used book store today for credit. The funny thing is, I don't remember reading most of them. Where the heck did they call come from? Did they reproduce up there or sumthin'?

Ain't that what they do in them romance novels?

Mornin'. Just sayin' hello afore I sign off. Got to get ready for today's final performances. Wife is doin' her scenes in a wheelchair. If'n I don't get to the chiropractor soon, I'll be doin' mine in traction.

So basically, it's a pretty normal day around here.

See y'all later. Leave me directions if you decide to move.
