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!
Luke 24:1-12Happy Easter all!
We're off to church in a few. Choir is singing with the orchestra. Kid's choir and trash can band are also singing/playing. We're nothing if no ecclectic.
I'm picking up Nana. She says she's able to go. Have to admit I'm concerned about whether she can get in and out of thevan, 'cause my back has no business lifting her. But she says she's up for it.
The off to the in-laws for Easter brunch and egg hunting with the mini-terrorists.
Good Morning ALL:
A Very Happy and Joyous Easter to one and all.
Thanks! Good morning. Hope you all have a lovely Easter.
Ours is white. We got a solid layer of snow over night. Sure it is only a quarter inch but it is a white Easter.
How does anyone at all take Algore seriously?
Nice! grats on the new car. It looks shiny!
Happy Easter...
Looks like we stayed dry last night so I’ll be able to get beds turned/tilled this week.
Morning - hmmm, no rain, no snow, no cloudy skies, well - no fire in the fire place. It was ready, though.
Some gardening would be nice about now, but it appears the good weather is during the week for the present.
Good Morning and Happy Easter to you both. More Snow?!?
Very nice adaptive use of the Maxpedition FR-1. We like it and will pick up a couple of them. Thanks for the tip and as always, a very informative posting.
You’re very correct on the former ammo supply of PDs in ‘70s. Six rounds in the revolver, twelve rounds in two six round dump pouches. Some, including me, carried an ammo wallet in the brief case. Twenty-four rounds in nice flat carrier.
Amen, alleluia! Happy Easter!
Pouring rain here, so I guess I’ll get to try out thenewlittlecar in those conditions for the first time today. I’m going to the 10:30 Mass and then up north...
I’m supposed to bring wine. Wonder what wine goes with lamb. Something red, I’d guess.
I’m headed out the door.....
The Kansas/Missouri Easter Moot begins!
Merlot or a nice Shiraz-Cabernet blend wine from Australia.
I’ve been told Merlot is boring and I’m not to bring that. ;-)
I’ll have to look and see what seems interesting, I guess!
Yeah, there was some movie a while ago that convinced people merlot was boring. I dunno, all I know is what I like and merlots are on the list. Not up there with Shiraz or Cab but they’re nice.
I think I might take a nap til they get here.
Those are beautiful puppies, and it looks like they’re going to be BIG dogs!
One article says those may be Canaan Dogs, which go back to the earliest days of Israel. They came from the desert, and were scattered back to the desert when the Romans exiled the Jews. The breed is considered a national treasure in Israel. Bedouins prize the dogs, but obviously city dwellers don't.
Full-grown dogs are much like German Shepherds in size and shape, but tend towards paler colors. Being herd dogs, they score high on IQ tests. It seems like Marines and Canaan Dogs are a natural for each other. I'm glad they were able to overcome all the red tape, and reunite men and dogs.
Mmmmmm....Bailey's.....
I’m a baaad hobbit!
