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! |

Dunno 'bout that. Could you see the braiding? It's kind of hard to tell.
But just to show you, here's the cousin...
...and here's the fiancee (the kids' mom>
...and the moral of the story is, don't get goofy around someone with a digital camera :)

Just got back from the Holiday Concert at Jr's school. (don't panic, they sang religious stuff and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"). But it was ALL of the music ensembles.
I don't care who you are, bad strings are bad strings. My ears may never recover.
Plus, Luke decided he wanted to go. I have officially been wallered senseless...

It weren't the dwarves stinkin' up this place.
Wife and I came away with the thought that the band program is stronger than the choral and orchestra program. Jr. confirmed our suspicions.
Choral director is new. The combined choir was good. But he had way too many special ensembles singing acapella.
That's fine when you can stay on pitch...that's all I'm sayin'...

I think school music programs are always a little torturous... ;~D

Well, here's a bit of a BA CHEF update...it's been a while.
Usually we meet the second Tuesday of each month, you know? Remember how the *other* group tried to get us to change nights and we voted not to? Well, every other year before this year, we skipped December. We didn't have a meeting the second Tuesday of December.
Well, this year we decided to have our "Mom's Night Out" on the second Tuesday instead of the third just in December. (Usually we all get together for food fun and fellowship on the 3rd Tuesday evening...in the past, maybe a half dozen ladies would show up...usually 3-4, but ever since we reorganized, we have never had less than 12 and have had as many as 18 ladies show!)
So *last month* we started planning to meet at this restaurant on the 2nd Tuesday and have our fellowship early.
Well, *guess who* decided to do the exact same thing.
At the exact same restaurant at the exact same time.
I almost didn't go. I didn't want to deal with the situation. But decided I would go because I'd committed to it.
I am SO glad I went! There was a dozen of us ladies and we had a great time...our usual fun and laughter and encouragement.
And the other group was there too. Their leader and 3 other ladies.
Remember...there's 42 ladies in our group. There's over 100 in theirs.

Heh...
Steve would tell you yes. He took one look at me when I sat down after I came in and said "Sweet revenge?"
I was praying all the way to the MNO...askin' the Lord to keep me from blurting out something rude like "You're a WHITE-WASHED SEPULCHER! But then I also said that I knew that what they had done wasn't right and "wouldn't it be all right if we did were blessed with a larger crowd?" LOL
I know, I'm terrible.

Sweet! Good to hear!
We played hookey today. All we did academically was paint a Christmas present for my mom at Paint-n-Party and read three chapters in "The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe." Tomorrow we are going to a friend's house to play a phonogram game (from Spell to Write and Read) and call it spelling. Then we have choir, and aterwards, off the Kids Club to play with KarateBoy's best friend. We are taking it real easy this week.
Mom's present actually won't be ready by Christmas, but it will be fired by New Years' Day.
