The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

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, yes, he post a daily flag-o-gram over in the foxhole. One small so it loads quickly, and a larger version. This time the "flag" was a balloon, hence the "hot air" size with a FR zot twist.

PE had a Corin day, and tells of it over in the foxhole. I had taken the kids to a birthday party and was not present to witness or help out.

This is not the legacy I'd always dreamed of...

At least you're famous, or infamous, as the case may be!

Well, it does involve a trip to Lowes, two ladders, a fear of heights, a chimney, about a gallon of gray paint, the roof, the hot water line to our shower, a drill, cutting a hole in the ceiling, another trip to Lowes, some soldering with regards to copper plumbing, and a lot of water.

Morning OT - heh, lots of favorite parts in that movie. I especially like seeing a movie without any commercials. I doubt I would have would seen it w/o your comment on it, thanks for the heads up.

Morning!

They usually show old movies on Saturday. Great Escape was on last week. I'm thinking it's about time for Where Eagles Dare soon. :)

I've got Ten Commandments (oooooo.....Chuckie.....) to watch today.

Coffee's ready.

On TV? or disk? Ten Commandments is usually on around Easter I thought.

Oh lordy! Poor PE!

Here's hoping the rest of this DIY adventure is less traumatic.

Have ecurbh put on that "good morning" song ~really~ loud.

Between the music and Gidget's barking, I'm sure it'll rouse the sleeping dead. ;-)
