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!

That picture of the two of you together should go on Steve's desk at his new job someday. ;-)

I'll be a Ruthsicle for the better part of the year, I'm sure.

But I'll get adjusted sooner or later. The girls should get used to it easier than I will.

Layering is key. :-)

That, and the occasional fire in the fireplace.

Only occasionally? ;-)

Saw a bumpersticker this morning that said "I work to support my horse's lifestyle". Heh...

You can never light a fire too often. ;-)

You really like it? I think it's pretty nice too...

He got that shirt at Foleys...it's not a light cotton dress shirt, it's heavier...sturdier. I think he looks great in it (and I can tell he thinks so too.)

I've folded the gown and put it with the cap in my cedar chest for maybe one of the jedis to wear in the future. I intend to *someday* have the medallion, his diploma and a litho they gave him framed.

heh heh

I'm so proud.

Heh heh...not yet, I don't think...I thought things were unnerving while he was trying to finish that thesis...but now the future really is uncertain! :-)

It's gotta be good though...I have a hunch and my hunches are good.

Give him a week to relax, then brush up that resume!

Just kidding... I'm sure you and he have things planned out already...

No, you're exactly correct. His mom is here all this week, so we don't plan on him pounding the pavement this week too much.

But come this weekend...we'll likely both get together and spiff things up...including a new bit of wardrobe...some slacks, a suit maybe...

His speaker at his commencement was excellent. I mean really really great. I'm talking about the commencement last night. He was so very encouraging and inspiring and both Steve and I enjoyed it. He was the owner of a company that actually Steve wouldn't mind working for.

Yep. My apartment had one. I wanted one in the house but could not get everything I wanted. Next time... A fireplace and a big whirlpool tub....
