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!

I'd kinda like to go, but I'll definitely need to read folks' name tags; I haven't seen most of them since we graduated!

Because not everyone could make the same weekend, they had a picnic last weekend and the dinner this weekend. They've been bouncing back emails about "George" and his 1972 Chevy Truck that he's restored.

Had to call a friend and say "who the @#$* is George???"

She had to look him up in the yearbook.

He knocked it over only because you didn't have a pottery wheel handy. ;-)

It rained! It's in the mid 70s out there!

I'm going to run some errands before it gets hot!

You can rest now. Just hang on, Mattie. It's okay... Daddy'll be here soon. Come on, Mattie. I'll hold you as long as I can... You can lean on me, Mattie... I'm so tired...

They're actually quoting two different PS movies... Dirty Dancing and Ghost.

I'll not be the one to say you have to watch either :~) They're not on my "Must show Rosie" list :~)

"Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" are both chick flicks.

"Dirty Dancing" is only relevant because it was filmed at Mountain Lake Hotel (parts of it). That's in my home county and where we're having dinner tomorrow night.

However, the quote I posted was from "Red Dawn" which ~is~ a must see movie.

Ping to the above... I was driving. ;~)

Heh... I've made that mistake before, I think. But I didn't make it all the way to Devil's Head. Cool.

You should take Rosie over to his ranch... it's just north of you there... :-)

It's all gated... I wonder if he'd just let me come in and start dumping water on the floor. :~)
