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!

The ocean can even be better if it's stormy, but we'd have to drive your new rig on the sand... mine won't fit everyone :~D

FYI... the passes are all closed this morning. Avalaches. Not sure what the deal is, because they showed Snoqualmie last night and it was bare and wet. Must be closed further up or on the Cle Elem side. Dunno.

Traffic's backed up for miles both ways.

We can take the new rig, but no driving on the sand for me.

Salt bad.

avalanche two days ago was on the west side, right around where they have the avalanche shed. They said a couple MILES of freeway was affected with a lot of snow. I think it was closed all weekend.

Nah... yah just park right there and go out walkin' on the beach. No worries...

We could try a couple different places... maybe Westport or go looking at lighthouses.

Just need raincoats. And hats. :-)

I figure we'll play it by ear. If the weather clears up and we feel a bit of cabin fever coming on, we'll go out on an adventure.

Otherwise: Couch + TV + Drinks + Snacks = most excellent vacation.

You going to see about that new "will-call" spot they have now?

It sounds the most convenient. I'll just call once I'm off the plane and meet you in front.
