The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

One pill makes you larger
One pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all...

Go ask Alice.

Won't be complete unless you play some Pink Floyd while you look at the lights.

Just grab a blanket and a lawn chair and enjoy. ;-)

Or perhaps "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds."

Now for prayers for healing and patience during recovery.

Yes, but Corin needs patience NOW!

Sister-in-law is here to "help."

We gots home from the hospital at 6-ish. Dinner was "heat this up lasagne" that the (fence) nayberlady brought. Were the boys fed? No. I had to get dinner goin'.

With all that was goin' on, wife didn't have a chance to get someone to bring cookies for Luke's class tomorrow. So s-i-l said she'd bake them. Just one question. HOW do you mess up cut-from-the-roll sugar cookies????

I told Jr. earlier that we couldn't make it thru the week without her.

I ain't so sure we're gonna make it ~with~ her.

I can't imagine how that thought would come to mind. *innocent smile*

I'm eating some Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate, wondering how it would taste in a smore....

I was going to say "yeah" until I read your wife's post underneath yours!

Stick with Floyd, Corin. And if the trip starts going bad, switch to Zeppelin. *grin*

*sigh* My brother sent that to me on a tape years ago - with no warning. I did nothing to deserve that!

It also had Leonard Nimoy's "If I Had a Hammer". Not QUITE in the same league, but...

Now we're listening to him doing "It Was a Very Good Year." Perhaps it was, but it was a very bad recording.
