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! |

He said that to me too. Of all the things to worry about, something tells me he's not going to oversleep. :~)
To: RMDupree
Good luck, Ruthy. Very exciting! I'm happy for you.

Ha! Although I shouldn't laugh since I know how he feels.
I guess now it's my turn to tell him "it's going to be OK". ;-)

It will be very good. Chivalry is not dead.
Just the thought of that journey alone with these two girls in tow gives me the shudders something awful.
Despite all of my efforts, we'll still have two bags to check and two to carry on. I can't imagine juggling all that without help. :-/

I could use a 5 a.m. EST wake up call. I've got the alarm on my watch and on my cell phone set. The atomic alarm clock we bought Jr. never has worked right...

Ugh.... You could have mine. No, my alarm is set to quarter to seven. However I despise being awakened by alarms and will be awake at 5... and 5:30... and 6.... and somewhere around 6:30 will give up and get up.

Heh...my Dad is feeling the same way. Only really three kids left in the area, two of 'em being the ones that are still at home The rest of us are all out west now.
Not sure how that happened.
To: RMDupree
Looking at it from the "after this weekend there's only two visits until we're married" point of view helps a lot. I can handle two visits. Looking at it as still double-digit number of weeks is lousy.

That would be number of years, which would be a fractional amount. But still depressing. Oh well! I know it's getting closer, I'm just getting more impatient to get on with things.

I was once ~tentatively~ offered a lobbying job that covered 6 western states. Would've been based in Sacramento and covered CA, WA, OR, AZ and Hawaii and Alaska.
We seriesly considered it, but they hired someone from the region.
Now I couldn't do it to the grandmas.
And I ain't bringin' 'em with us.
