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!

Did we tell the thread that we got a weird message on my phone voice mail that sounds like one of the openers for those Nigerian scams? Says he's in Russia though... very strange :~D

Forward it to Lowbridge. :)

Hmmmm....must be Handel's birthday today.

Well, you've got a perfectly valid reason behind the request so I don't see why he wouldn't agree.

Have I gotten much mail?

I'm getting addresses switched over, but I know there will be some.

A few pieces. I need to find out from you which you need and get them sent out. Can't remember which they are off the top of my head.

How did it go last night, visiting your brother? And did you call everyone in your family about the job or just a few to see how long the news takes to travel? :-D

Last night was kinda boring, actually. Went to help them shop for a car, and there was a lot of waiting involved, especially as they weren't completely sure they'd be able to take it home that night once they found the right one, so I couldn't really take off until everything was done - we took my car to go to the dealerships. But they were sooo excited about having a vehicle again (they have been borrowing one since they moved back to WA) that it was hard not to be overjoyed for 'em. ;-) They got a 2001 Ford Taurus. Not a glamorous car, but it's nice and roomy and didn't have all that many miles on it. And we've had Tauruses (Tauri?) before and had good luck with 'em. So there's that. It's a pale silver - nice color.

I called home, but didn't tell the others. I was GOING to break the news to Ben and Anne and looking forward to it, but Margaret had already told them by the time I got there. Stole my thunder...grrr!

I haven't called John yet.

Dead or alive; you or the cat? ;o)

Does Josie belong to your Dad or Ramius? I've lost track.
