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!

You got nothin'? It's not so much snow, it's ice. We got about an inch of very dry snow here, but around Seattle-Tacoma area, it came down as sleet and freezing rain.

Send pics!
Just kidding, prayers for g'nad; sound kinda painful.

Nothing like cuttind down your own tree, that's what we always did when I was a kid years ago, growing up on the farm.

Merry Christmas, in case I don't get a chance to say it later.

Taking Jeanne to John's Hopkins tomorrow, the doctors in Miami don't seem to be able to get a handle on her...in fact I think they have caused many of her problems. Hoping the guy in Baltimore can shed some light.

Aw, gee, Sam...sorry to hear things haven't been going well. Here's hoping John's Hopkins is a whole different story.

Praying for both of you...keep us updated if you can!

OH Jeez... Careful with them power tools, pal. I hope it doesn't get all complicated to fix. Prayer sent.

Was the saw damaged? :-)

My new route to work avoids freeways and merges. It does have long hills and curves, but it's merges that freak me out ever since the time I spun out and ended up facing backwards while trying to get on.

Gee...thanks...I feel so much more *secure* now...

Prayers, Mister Cree. A fresh opinion might be just the thing.

Oops. Sorry. I'll pray that your drive is totally boring and uneventful to make up for that.

Cisco wants to be out...which doesn't make sense to me.

The snow's fun when you are a kid :~)

I heard you out there scraping... was the sound of a gal that's going to give it a go...

Be careful... Call if you have any trouble. Southbound I-5 is closed at Grand Mound we hear...

Yeah, I'm giving it a go.

Thinking I may leave Cisco in for the day, though...it's cold out there.

Well...maybe I'll leave him out then. He didn't want to come back in and I dragged him...

Well, its official. I gots bupkis.

Went out and checked... no ice on the street. Bare and dry. Yet I see the cameras out there just a few miles away showing 405 and 90 are sheer glaze ice. It's a skating rink out there.

Why me? Is this my fault?
