The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

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! |

Good news on that job prospect, Rose! Now that I know you're an expert in Excel I might have to ask you questions from time to time. I get very frustrated with it! :)
Good morning! Friday can't come soon enough!
To: Lil'freeper
Excel is fun! Are you playing with macros?

Well, I have at least one A this semester. That's nice to know. I expected it in this class but one never can tell with professors.

LOL!! I still do that. The thing is...I have to believe he purposely goes in and finds the most wrinkled shirt at the bottom of his drawer to wear...he has to dig under all the nicely folded and tidy shirts to get to it!

I just found out that the church where I'm staying in NO has electricity. So I can take my air mattress pump that I already have and don't have to buy a manual one.
So that's good!
I'm gettin' excited about going!

Well, in this case... he doesn't have any ironed shirts in the closet, but he did pick the worst one ;~D
When he started this job, I used to iron all his shirts on Sunday....
It's not completely my fault. He switched to short sleeve polo shirts that don't need ironed all summer, so I got out of the habit of ironing. Now that it's cold, he's pulling these long sleeved wrinkled things out of the closet and tryin' to wear them.

It's going to be a very fulfilling time for you, 2J. It will also get your mind off Masters degrees and stuff like that! ;o)
My nephew's former wife and her new husband and son live in Slidell. I would have sworn her house would have flooded because you have to come down off the Interstate to get to it. It didn't flood, though, and I think they've been back in it for a couple of months.
Lots of the town was not so fortunate, though. A friend up here has a friend in Slidell who she could not locate for over two weeks. He'd been evacuated, and only got the chance to contact folks after that time. She was very worried about him. His home was flooded, but I'm not sure how bad it was. His family was OK, though, so that's the most important thing.

It was 9 degrees this morning, and Joseph couldn't find his flannel lined khakis, so he had to wear the regular medium weight ones. I suspect the lined ones are in a pile on his floor, but I don't go searching for dirty clothes. The rule is, if it's not in the basket in the laundry room, it don't get washed! ;o)
