The Hobbit Hole XXXI - Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

Oh, Ruthy.... I'm sorry you have to do this but I know you'd always do what's best for your family.

Ruthy you know I am disappointed but I hope you find happiness.

Prayers for you and the girls, and prayers for my brother. This is a difficult time for both of you, I'm glad you posted something to let everyone know.

~sigh~

I know. It's just so hard to post such sad news on an almost-always happy thread. :-(

I'll really miss you guys and prayers are ongoing on this side as well.

It's been a almost-always happy thread because we've been lucky to have mostly good news.

But even bad news is part of life. We just deal with it best we can.

I'm having a hard time knowing what more to say to you except that I'm really really sorry and disappointed that this didn't work out. It had ~all~ the potential of being really good for you both.

Ramius, my heart goes out to you, I know you'd have fixed it if you could. As you know, our door is open for you always, and we'll see you at the beach house this weekend.

Ruthy, good luck to you. We'll miss you being here too.

It's just so hard to post such sad news on an almost-always happy thread.

It is almost always happy because we are all here, together, in this little space of ours. We bring all of our ups and downs and in this place we find support, advice and commiseration. If you could not bring news like that here it would not be 'here'. I know we are all glad you share all this with us and glad we can provide a cyber shoulder on occasion. Sad news but we are glad to be here to get it and to be here for you all. So never feel bad about bringing anything here. Sad that you have to but happy to have a place to bring it.

Maybe Jen and I will find an excuse to go visiting in FL sometime. We both have extended family there anyway. I wonder if Empress still has my snorkel and mask...

Florida is a great place to visit in the winter as those of us who went to Entmoot know!

Ditto what Talon said, we're very privileged to have friends to share ups and downs with.

Hi there folks -- sorry for your bad news, I just came here for a little shelter from Florida Politics. Cong. Mark Foley (R), chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, and leading opponent of Internet pedophiles, has just resigned his seat due to Email and IM's with young males which were sexually explicit. His nzame will remain on the ballot!

UGH!!!
