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!

Must have been cozy and romantic in those brown paper bags, lemme tell ya!

You and the Mrs should get a professional massage after it's all over. Lord knows you've earned it!

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

Our family's vice was/is science fiction. My sweet mother could open a library with the collection we accumulated during my yout. Dad was fond of westerns and mysteries so we have boxes of those, too.

I don't think we'll ever be able to get rid of them - too many good memories tied up in those pages - not even when we move Mom out to the east coast here in a couple of years.

This morning I couldn't remember kitties' names, and ended up calling one of them Lucy. PE likes it because it rolls off the tongue better than Rosie, Ruthie, and Esther. Mom joked and said that now I have to name the other cat Ethel. ROFL!

Gotta run it by karateboy. He is supposed to be the one naming these kitties.

You know what? I found one of the novels that I had autographed by the model from the cover during a book fair type thing I went to back in the day.

I laughed myself silly with that one.

The novel is "Winds of Destiny" and the (male) model wrote "If it's destiny, it'll happen".

How profound.

LOL!

We took karateboy to see HP last night. I was a bit disappointed in the movie. He loved it, though.

The biggest problem was that I had to constantly explain what was going on. The director cut too much and therefore, the movie lacks continuity. With all the cuts, it was still 2 1/2 hours long so I can't complain too much I guess.
