The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

The snake was released, unharmed.

That's a relief. I had visions of you doing snake CPR.

Sure enough, it was what appeared to be a ferret with a dead chipmunk carried proudly in it's mouth.

***Ponders getting a ferret for the backyard...***

We're getting ready to enter Margaritaville shortly here. I'll let you know if I need a ride. :~)

From experience, just don't have a female coworker call and tell Hair you'll be late.

Trust me. I know what I'm talking about.

It ~seemed~ like a good idea at the time, though, right? :~D

***ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!****

I ordered a suit from JCPenney in early June. Got the jacket, said the pants were backordered until June 30.

I just checked the status of the order. It says "Cancelled. Not in stock. Will not be shipped."

I've already had the jacket altered.

I'm STILL sendin' it back.

It's a conspiracy to make you wear your *favorite* suit to events.

For wedding-type activities, I am planning to have an emergency cow costume at the door. Anyone who shows up pantless will be wearing the cow ;-)

So glad it went well! What nice pictures - nice girls too of course ;-)

Under twenty-four hours until my next smoochmoot gets underway...

Oh, I'm having trouble thinking of any good dinosaur books... I think when we went through our various stages we just read the standard Dorling-Kindserly type books and just laughed at the "millions of years ago" thing... I second Talon's suggestion of just finding some of the books pointing out the flaws and other possibilities but that's really not totally age appropriate yet... most of them go on about radiocarbon decay and such that might bore a kid who just wants brontosaurus facts.

It's not like I can wear a navy pin stripe as a blazer.

I never said I wouldn't wear pants ~to~ the wedding...

Uh... we're arming the ushers and warning them that weird business is not to be tolerated from anyone but the bride and groom. Yeah.

IIRC, Ruthy is the keeper of the Shooooeeess...

I don't think your wedding would be legal without them.

Legal, sure. Binding, yeah. Sanctioned by the Hobbit Hole, maybe not...
