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!

Job prayer SPAM!

[RMDupree]

Oopsie!

[RosieCotton]

Ruthy!!

*taps foot*

[Rose in RoseBear]

Is Jen there yet? And how long does the retreat last?

Pictures, please!

[2Jedismom]

This is wonderful!!! I'm so happy!

I am so happy for so many people in the Hole for so many reasons!

Now Steve just called...he's on his way home. Maybe there'll be good news on that front? I'll fill you in tonight.

Also, I got ahold of my dad's nurse. He's in a hospital called "St. Joseph's" which Joseph is my dad's first name. The nurse told me he was doing fine, but I declined being transfered to the room. I told her to just tell him it was awful nice of them to name the hospital after him. She roared with laughter and said she'd tell him.

[RMDupree]

Sorry.

[TalonDJ]

yep.
Jen: "Who's going to take pictures?"
Hey, what do you know? We did think of somethig...

[RMDupree]

hehehehe....

I was born at a St. Joseph's hospital...in Chicago. :-)

[RMDupree]

Hey, what do you know? We did think of somethig...

Really? Like what?

[TalonDJ]

Scrabble! or not

[Rose in RoseBear]

Jen: "Who's going to take pictures?"

Why, the chaperone, of course!

<innocently>

[TalonDJ]

Alpha cat refused and Beta does not know how to work a camera...

[Rose in RoseBear]

Are your cats really named Alpha and Beta, or are those just personality descriptions?

And why don't we have pictures of them???

[RMDupree]

Heading home now.


Hope to see some pics when I get back. :-)

[Ramius]

I'm fixin'ta hit the road myself. Gonna try to get outta town before the crush...

See y'all later!

[Lil'freeper]

I start Tuesday, and for next week, it's 8:30am - 5pm.

HAAAAA-LAY-LOOOOOO-YA!

I am so happy for you!!!

[RMDupree]

OK - we're out of here... more cleanin' up and stuff

Any daily progress pics yet?

[RosieCotton]

We didn't end up taking any pictures today. There isn't a whole lot to show since mostly it was just picking up trash and vacuuming, but I really wish we had a before picture of the hall! It looks *much* better.

Tomorrow Hair's Dad is hopefully going to come down with the carpet shampooer. That will make another big difference, I'm thinking. Should make things look much tidier, though some of the carpets aren't exactly stylish. Also should make things smell nice, hopefully. It isn't bad, but you can tell the place has been shut up awhile.
