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! |

If you really want them to go for it, fill it with breakable things and put a full glass of grape juice on top. :~)LOL!

I really WAS planning to say that. Go get 4 of something that looks nice but is really disposable and breaks nicely. Put one out and laugh it off when it gets smashed. Swap for a fresh one between visits.

After all, nothing says 'this guy likes kids' like laughing off the destruction of seemingly valuable property as youthful exuberance. ;-D

Perfect!
Now go hit ebay and get 4 spares.
To: TalonDJ
Heh, didn't see your email until after I tried calling. Oh well.
Spent two hours shopping (!) but I got a cute dress. My sisters helped me :-) Now I just have to find us a plan....

I promise to look spiffy.
Verizon is giving me a 'network difficulties' error message. :(
To: TalonDJ
Bah. I should go to bed now anyway. Tomorrow we don't have to fight phone calls!
I'll probably research date type stuff tomorrow... Dad suggested going to either Market Square or down near the Point, those are the nicest sections of town and most likely to have fun stuff, Southside is nice too but I have no clue where it is or what there is to do there.

Thank you, one and all, for the happy birthday wishes! You're so kind!
I would have been here sooner, but Tuesday I didn't get home till after 10pm (working late, then a hair appointment). Wednesday I worked late again.
But not tomorrow night! Tomorrow night I come home and hang out for the evening!
Maybe I'll write a little ...

I think I missed saying Happy Birthday to ya...so...Happy Birthday!
I'm kind of itching to write, but don't have ideas. Isn't that always the way?
To: RosieCotton
Perversely, I'm itching to write on the novel/la I'm trying to save for NaNo.
Instead, I'm turning my attention back to my NaNo 2005 novel, Speak To My Soul. I plan to finish it up by Labor Day. I'm hoping that will sate the writing itch until November.
Do you have any half-finished stuff lying about?

I still have my NaNo novel from 2005...but I kinda don't know where to go with it. It's just silliness anyhow.
Also I miss my Alphasmart. Can't remember if I mentioned that thing here much... *snif* I sold it to help with the move. Having something that small to type on was nice...and it's part of why I'm jonesing for a new system, which I suppose I don't really need.
But I do love gadgets...
To: Rose in RoseBear
I *should* try to come up with a new kid type story. That'd be easier to write, I guess...get me back in practice. Need to do some brainstorming, really.
