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!

Haldir and the Elves arrived at Helm's Deep last night, but we were too tired to watch the battle. Did they win?

Flips through book.... Sorry, I can't find any record of the elves even being at Helm's Deep :~)

LOL!

But...they ~were~ there. They said something about honoring the allegiance between Men and Elves.

Well, they did do that once... but not at Helm's Deep... It appears the scene was photoshopped. ;~)

Or maybe Tourist Guy, Green Helmet Guy (?), Looter Guy, and the other usual suspects gathered for a group portrait, with the Eye of Sauron in the front and center.

Heh...

Matthew was just watching a show with a really over-protective mom. He said "Wow, that woman makes you look irresponsible!" ROFLOL!!

This comes after some big kid, a boy, maybe 16-17 years old, kept trying to play with the jedis in the pool this morning. There were other teenagers there but he wanted to play with my boys??? I don't think so. He would come up and try to talk to the boys and the boys would swim off...then up he'd come to them again. (Most kids are just dropped off, I'm the only mom there a lot of times.)

Anyway, it made me feel strange and I finally got up and told him "My boys aren't allowed to talk to strange grown-ups." The guy replied "I'm not a grown-up!" I said "Don't argue with me! You're old enough to father a child, you're too old to play with mine."

You're old enough to father a child..."

I don't think you're supposed to be encouraging that, though!

No offense, 2J, but I'd be kinda disconcerted if someone said that to my little brother. :-\

Not to mention most of my brothers enjoyed doing stuff with younger boys. It's one reason several of them were really involved with Boy Scouts. I realize it's different when they usually at least kinda have an idea who the kids are, of course, but...

Yeah, or to my brothers. A little like when I would have my baby brother at the mall and people would walk past and give me these evil glares. I always wanted an "I'm the Sister" t-shirt.

Though I can see your point of view 2J not wanting some strange teen to play with your kids...

I'd have to agree Rosie. If it was just wanting to hang out and goof around in public, that's pretty harmless. I wouldn't let them go off with him, that's a different story and that doesn't sound like what he was up to. (not that he was up to anything).

It's your call 2J, but not every teenage male is a pervert.
