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! |

Well, I must admit that I have an E-text of LOTR handy, which makes for easy searching. ;~D

The gal at the final Verizon store said that they *could* renew the contract, but it would only give me a %25 discount on a phone and wouldn't allow for the swap we were doing, so...I didn't bother.
I'm now the proud owner of a more expensive phone than I wanted, with more features than I need, and which I have no clue how ta use. But they all agreed it was head and shoulders above the others for reception in odd places, so I guess I'm happy.
Almost felt like resorting to Jack methods in my hurry to get home, but I made it.

Can it download live building schematics and maps that show infra red images of the bad guys?
To: RosieCotton
What'd you get?
Post a picture of it! <laughing>

JenB, her sister and I went shooting yesterday. I took off a little early from work and we raided the toy store. The girls got to see lots of nifty toys and then I bought Jen one of these:
Well technically that is not legal so it is really mine until the wedding. It is the new model compact 10/22. It has a shorter stock and a the nice fiber optic sights.
Much fun was had as we corrupted another of her family to the joys of putting small holes in things from a distance.
Had a good MoveMoot. Her stuff is all here and mostly in good places. There are a couple items that need to go to the basement but other than that the place is looking better than ever.
They headed east this morning. It is a 12 hour run so I would not expect her to be on tonight but she might be. No, sorry, we forgot to get pictures. And all the witnesses are paid off.

I'm just sayin' is all.

Mornin'.
We had a major storm come through here last night. it was so bad that it woke me up at 4 in the morning!
I was having a nightmare about being trapped in the garage with the girls during a hurricane. Sure enough, a big thunderclap scared me in the dream and woke me up - only to find that it was real thunder. hehehe...
Power is going in and out here at work so we're scurrying to process as fast as we can in case it goes out completely.
In other news, at this time tomorrow I'll be an hour into my flight! Yippee!!

The test of a good marriage will be whether you'd buy her another gun for a first anniversary :~D

We had storms last night too. That wasn't what woke me up.
Nana was havin' a bad night. Either nightmares or pain with her hands. Woke me up a couple of times when I heard her holler out (wife was downstairs workin' on her exam today - the last). So you always have to wait and see if Nana's still breathin' before you can go back to sleep.

Got the ham hocks, sisters! Gonna start cooking the greens this afternoon.
The article says to cook 'em slow...for a long time...and I think they're gonna need it because they were pretty big plants.
Still, I wonder about how long?
I got four ham hocks, only need two, but I suppose I can use the other two with turnips...I have plenty of turnips left. I even handed some over the fence to my neighbor Sunday.

It's hard for them to even see in from the store parking lot any more, the scotch broom has gotten so tall you can't even barely see the paddock, just through the little opening at the gate. They must have seen though, to have come looked :~D
Maybe she used to have horses, this lady.
To: Rose in RoseBear
Oh and Steve's from Minnesota...so I wonder what he'll think of the smell...

That's immediately what I wondered...
Maybe she had a pony when she was a little girl in Poland...

Well cool! That's good to have then... have you figured out what all the buttons do?
