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!

LOL - Sounds like fun to me! So did they intentionally overdose Talon too?

I'm very glad you had fun! New Year's party... good!

And I'm also really sorry about the job. I saw that yesterday but didn't get a chance to post. I know it's completely unfair, and wrong, and I'm still praying for you.

Actually we all (Mom, Dad, Talon and me) had the exact same amount of alcohol. Not that much, just enough to go well past buzzed to downright silly. Not that it takes that much for me...

Well Rosie, sounds like the party would have kindof pooped out if you hadn't shown up. I'm glad you had a good time.

We were asleep at the stroke of midnight, but not a minute afterwards. I went out and spent my new years with Bay and the fireworks, while ecurbh spent it with barking dog :~D

Good morning everyone! I'll be going back to bed I think...

Well, I can see the value in finding out if this guy is a good drunk or a bad one :~D

So - how silly?

For most people, very silly. My family, eh, we're silly folks.

Mornin'. Gotta go get ready for church.

Hadda nice time with friends last night. Watched most of the Giants game (boooo), then rather amazed ourselves that we all made it to midnight. Although we did discuss taking a nap and waking up for it.

Happy New Year one and all!

Terrible!

I ~knew~ I should have stuck with my Kahlua. I bought some, but never drank it. :-D

At least I don't have a headache.
