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!

at least the boxes are good

Indeed! All of them are reasonably-sized, well-packed, and easily accessible. I don't anticipate moving them being nearly as much trouble as last weekend was.

I'm hoping things go smoothly for you - and for me too! I guilted my friends into agreeing to come help tomorrow morning load the truck. We're hoping to be on the road by ten... we'll see...

That's a sound plan! I'm just hoping to make it all the way to Cedar Rapids tomorrow so we have the most time Sunday for unloading.

I forget how you said you're transporting your stuff. Are you taking everything in thelittleredcar? Or are you shipping like furniture and stuff?

I'm getting to the point of just telling our landlord, "You can keep what's left, sell it if you want..."

hehehehe....

I've already told my family the same thing. But since I'm leaving TVs and such, I don't think they'll mind.

My folks are actually coming out and hauling a trailer for me (!) which is way, way above and beyond, IMO. But they offered and I am thrilled, it means I can take the furniture and not have to spend $500 to ship my books. They're arriving tonight and we load up tomorrow morning early.

I think Dad just wants to make sure there's no hanky panky going on with the moving in.

When are you going offline?

I love you!

Haven't heard at all yet. I expect I would have if they'd had problems. I'll probably go offline early this afternoon, certainly by two.
I love you...

It sure is... they're bringing my older little sister along to ride with me, I'm planning to stay in IA until Tuesday so she is the designated chaperone. Heh. Wish it was the younger little sister because she's easily distracted.

I'm just a little stuned by all that's happened in the last few months.

Rosie's move, Steve's graduation, your engagement and move, Ruthy's upcoming move, the RoseBear's move, thenewboy and bittygirl getting all growed up...

And, here it sit. ;-)

Well, your boys are getting growed up too... and be careful what you wish for, you know.

Me, I'm stuned any time I think about it. No way, absolutely none, that I would have predicted a year ago what I'd be doing today. Thank God for the Hobbit Hole - and I mean that literally.
