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!

We're supposed to get between 8 and 14" of the white stuff this evening into tomorrow morning. We're going to go to 4:30 Mass, this afternoon, cause we may not be able to get out and down the hill tomorrow morning. We'd better get there early because I'm sure half the Parish will be thinking the same thing!

Morning G'nad - I'll bet Dogwood Ridge is quite picturesque with a light dusting of snow. Good day for loading ammo or cleaning weaponry..

Hopefully this adventure will be more successful in the long run than my previous one. ;-)

Though...I suppose in a way both moves are part of one great adventure. Haven't reached the end yet...

Are y'all fairly close to the Interstate? SirKit will be spending Monday night in Dupont, then driving down to Hillsboro on Tuesday morning. He was wondering if he could stop and have a cuppa coffee with you guys around 7:30 or 8 or so. ;o)

Mornin' everyone.

~sip~

I know it isn't major news, but I was really worried about Alyson not being potty-trained yet since most child care places charge extra when the kid is still in diapers/pull-ups.

I felt kinda foolish praying about such a thing, but lo and behold since yesterday morning Alyson has been going to the bathroom by herself and of her own accord.

She's proud as can be walking around in her "big girl" Dora the Explorer panties. And I'm so relieved that she is finally learning. She'll be four in June and ready for Pre-K, so she really needed to get with the program.

Thanks, God! Now about that lottery thing....

(Kidding, of course)

there a many paths to tread...

Proverbs:
16 : 9 In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.

3: 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight

You got that right re the lifetime warranties; Hope you get it back soon.

Been checking my manual for a good heavy bullet .38 load. Still have some unique I need to use up. :-) Given the price of 9mm, it's kinda hard to justify reloading it. Probably will do for some 'special loads' but 9mm practice ammo is still about five bucks a box.
