The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

You bet! Although the girls will want to try cooking their marshmallows in the fireplace, I'm sure.

Here's some advice -- if you have a lot of stuff to give to the thrift stores, make sure you arrange for two stores to pick it up. Here's why:

On the next to the last day (last Saturday), with dozens of boxes of good donations sorted and ready, the thrift store truck NEVER SHOWED UP! (Fortunately, I have multiple friends with multiple trucks who were able to get me out of this jam.)

My recommendation for a large donation is to set up two pick-ups, and let the first to show take most of the stuff.

Heh, I don't have enough stuff for that! I ran two huge bags by Goodwill yesterday and that will probably be all I give away this move.

*nods* Good advice.

I'll let my friends and family have whatever I'm leaving behind. If something goes unclaimed, I'll drop it off myself at the Goodwill truck a few blocks away.

That isn't exactly the word I'd use. LOL!

But peace was made in FReepmail with the author of the thread. He's a good guy.

You're just getting antsy in anticipation of the move. I know I can't wait for it to be over, there's just SO much to do to make it happen!

Could be. I'm not usually grumpy or hot-headed.

I should just stay off of the news side until I'm over whatever it is that's weirding me out.
