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!

We're getting that rain that y'all had! Haven't had any thunderboomers, just a nice steady rain.

It looks like rain here too... dunno what'll really happen.

I went up to the chapel where my wedding's going to be to meet with their person in charge. Managed to fall down the stairs and bang my leg up. How do I manage these things? It's purple and sore and puffy now.

If you don't have an ice pack handy, grab a bag of frozen veggies and elevate the leg with the veggies on it.

Are these stairs an obstacle you are going to have to navigate in the ceremony? :~)

Nowhere to exciting I had to get unmentionables, so I went to the *mall*. Eek!

To console myself for that particular shopping experience, I went to Best Buy and got a coupla CDs and a movie, and then to the library. The local library has a ridiculously good selection of certain genres of music. Kewl.

Well, hippies are into that folk music, and we got a lot of hippies :~D

You see R walking around with two Korean gentlemen?

I got this is my email today:

Here are a couple of pictures of me on a recent call. One of my guys got a photo of me carrying that tomahawk you donated to us. I've had our supply guy order a bunch through the system. Hopefully they will be here before the deployment is over! Thanks again.

Bryan.

Um... yeah. Unfortunately. I don't think taking the elevator is a very dignified way to make my entrance. Of course going head over heels wouldn't be dignified either.

I guess I will have to rely on my father to get me up the stairs and my new husband to get me down them.... ;-)

Hey - thanks for sharing the pic! Tell him all of our prayers are with him.

Good Lord what a desolate place.

I just noticed the Marine insignia on his goggle covers. Nobody does brand management like the USMC.

Lots of jazz, too. Not a bad selection of rock/pop, either.

Didn't see R, no. Hope they aren't coming this way - I'm not prepared for company!
