The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Gosh! Thanks!

They're meant to be a bit "abstract"...but you can still tell they're Beetles, huh?

Sometimes I wonder why people seem to push this idea that, say, debugging code is somehow more fulfilling than baking cookies for a couple Jedis.

That said, I might have to whack you with a fish too. I haven't folded laundry in over a week and you're making me feel guilty.

Ha! I just looked at my living room...it's an absolute disaster. School stuff all over the place. That basket of laundry that is in the picture of the car parts is still sitting there.

Time to yell at the jedis.

Heh heh!

Joshua licked the frosting off his cookie and said it was all he wanted...

Well, I'm done with the gingerbread cookies. I am supposed to take 12, and the recipe made 16...so I can mess up a couple and be ok.

LOL!! I love that! But I think my favorite part of Blast from the Past is when he's dancing the swing with the two women at the club. I LOVE Swing music! It's the tom toms; I love the percussion!

The "Holiday Concert" at Jr's school is tonight.

I'm practically ~beside~ myself in anticipation...

Cookie exhange cookies are done! Slightly different design than originally planned but I think it's good.

The reds are a bit hard to see in the picture, but they look pretty good too.

In other news about creativity and Jr's school, this guy apparently is an art teacher there.

Or should I say ~was~. He's currently on administrative leave.

Ah shucks!

:-)

Anyways, they're gonna think I'm nuts. It's a Christmas party! I'm bringing red and green gingerbread Volkswagens to a Christmas party!

Heh heh! That's ok.

Here's where I got the idea...It's a pattern on a floor mat.

LOL!!!

Pretty creative, actually! (Although I don't think that would do for a Christmas cookie pattern.)

How did you find out about it???

Got my candy made and mailed! This afternoon I made goo-gobs of lollipops. There were 10 tall, skinny chocolate St. Nicks, 4 large vanilla snowmem, 13 that look like ornaments, half were vanilla, and half were chocolate, and 27 snowflakes, some chocolate, but mostly vanilla. I also made a batch of peppermint bark, with the bottom layer vanilla with mint flavoring, and the top layer dark chocolate with white peppermint flakes in it. Then I crushed some peppermint sticks and sprinkled them on top. I kept half of that for us. ;o)

The lollipops are for the kids' stockings for my family's Christmas party, which will be this Saturday. Didn't make it this year, but I sure hope we'll be there for good by NEXT Christmas!
