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!

Ramius hasn't spoken to Eric in a long time. He (Eric) has no clue about anything that has happened over the last year. LOL!!! Suuurpriiise!

Ramius has mentioned a few times the need to call Eric, but he hasn't done it yet. Maybe he will today.

:-D

Heh... Well, I don't know... isn't the Ritalin drug they treat hyper kids with actually a stimulant? ...Like it has the opposite effect :~)

Heh...here's hoping.

But apparently he really liked 'em. He's watching me like a hawk every time I step into the kitchen.

I am suddenly tempted to feed coffee beans to a friend's dog and observe the results.

You have to understand that Cisco has...well...an abundance of energy at any time.

But maybe the Ritilin thing is true. He's curled up in a ball on the couch at the moment. Unless it just hasn't hit him yet...

I'd just call up and say "Hi Eric. How ya doin'? Oh by the way, how'd you like to meet my girlfriend and her kids?"

:-D

All righty. Let me grab some water and get my things together.

Wish I had something else to wear...all my clothes that are comfortable for riding are ten years old and from when I was fifteen or twenty pounds lighter. :-\ Oh well. Maybe I'll go buy a few things one of these days.

There's no points for fashion :~)

It'll be cool in the woodsy part, hotter in the clearcut part, and we'll have both. No real narrow scratchy places on this trail.

Speaking of clothes, I have a some size 10 work slacks that I won't be using anymore. You're welcome to have them if you could use them.

I bought them at JC Penney a couple of years ago so they're in good shape. And they're very comfortable.

Maybe I can bring them if we go down for a visit since I have Pilon to drop off at Hair and ecurbh's anyway. The delivery arrived yesterday.

Well, we're back from our ride with Rosie on her bike :~) Here she is at the trailhead :~)

And out on trail :~)

And Rosie waiting for us to get to the rest stop at the falls :~) She spent most of her time way ahead of us, waiting for us to get there. :~)

We did the 8 mile loop. LOTS of riders out today, we saw 3 big groups, one with 15 horses we had to find a spot to let pass, and a couple other groups on bikes.

Then Rosie carried the camera most of the way back :~)

Evening Hair and Rosie; great pics of the trail&bike ride. Having Rosie take the pics on the return was a good idea.

Rosie - excellent photo composition, well done. OB & LSA

Looks like it was a great day for a ride. We've had a couple of nice, cooler days here. I think today's high was about 83, and it's supposed to be cooler a couple of days next week, too.

We had another death in the family today. SirKit's oldest sister, Lea died in her sleep, apparently. At least she didn't suffer in any way. She lived in Richmond, and I'm not sure yet if the funeral is going to be there, or down in MS. We're waiting to hear from her son.

We hadn't seen her in a while. She had kinda been on the outs with the family for the last few years. This was the sister who had lost half her left leg in a motorcycle accident the year we married. You know how many families seem to have one member who is always at odds with everyone else? That was Lea, and it was tough dealing with her sometimes. In my family, there are two of them, and there's a minor storm brewing with that since our oldest brother died.

Ah, familes. Anyway, if y'all could please keep SirKit's family in your prayers, I'd appreciate it.
