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!

Whatever agreements were in place with the landlord (the lease, even oral agreements) are *still* in force with a new owner. A buyer of the property buys it with all prior encumbrances in place, whether they knew of them or not.

In honor of 06/06/06, Mr. and Mrs. Stormhands are fighting the Intestinal Battle of Armageddon.

Most of mine was yesterday and today. Wife is now experiencing it. The only good part of that is that I can rule out what I thought was bronchitis.

Wow... so if today marks the beginning of the Tribulation... it's kinda a bummer that it's just you.

Sorry about that. :-)

So there's that...though I still worry about what they've told 'em about what this place is like inside. I mean...the handyman never finished large portions of what was supposedly gonna be done...and even Richard's wife may be totally unaware of that, let alone the new owners.

Kinda surprises me that they bought without ever looking the place over...makes me wonder what they have planned for this place. See...I only signed a six month lease, now I think about it. Hope that's not cause for alarm...though I can't think of much they could do with this land that would generate much more income. Not as if we're in town.

My boss and his whole family had something like that. I managed to dodge it, whatever it was...thank goodness.

Now there's a cold going around instead. Yay.

Granted, I'd rather a cold if the alternative is...well, the other illness. Ick.

It's a sixties era trailer, they're not going to expect that it's in any different shape than it's in now.

And we've got pictures. I can print them out. pages of em.

K...I'll try not to fret about it. ;-) I guess I'm more worried about the prospect of them wanting to do something else with the land, considering they didn't bother walking through.
