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 can do anything you want, except for actually startingthe writing. Plotting, character development, writing backstories, prequel scenes, whatever.

I'm trying to decide what I'll do... figuring I should have it plotted out before September or so since I may be distracted after that.

Whee, I'm done. Turned in the last paper. No more homework for a long, long time!

WooHoo! Feels good, doesn't it?

Paul had one more final today, and two papers due on Friday, then he graduates on Sunday!

Wow, good for him! You guys must be thrilled to finally have one kid done with school ;-)

It does feel nice, even if I have to take more classes later, that shouldn't be a big deal. It's a sort of end of an era feeling anyway.

I'll know how badly you distracted me in about a week. For now, I can concentrate on packing and cleaning.

Yeah, we only have about 8-10 more years of this if Joseph decides to do any graduate level work. ;o)

Hah! Sure blame me ;-P
I have been letting you initiate the phone calls so I don't interrupt studying. So it can only be a small fraction my fault. Just imagine if you had gone to school in Iowa.

Someone left the door to the Hobbit Hole open (up top). Seems like we might need some graduating type folks to fill it up.

Mmmm... oh, I've imagined that all right. We would have had to elope. Anyway you should be flattered that you are more interesting than grad school to me. Er, I know that's not saying much but you are way more interesting than grad school, even.

Like that great picture of Steve, he did so great. I just hope I don't get distracted from finishing off next year.

You don't? Maybe I should be concerned about that.
