The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Livestock on the loose is always exciting.

The funny part was it was so unexpected! I went out the back door ready to start yelling at some neighborhood teenage boys, then hear "Moooo" in the dark. I just started howling laughing!

Of course, we've all grown up since then...

I wouldn't say all...

There are ALWAYS exceptions!

We're getting the beginnings of OUR blizzard now. I've heard predicitions of from 18" to 30" before it is all over on Tuesday night. Our local weather guy just said 8" to 14", but this was the same guy who predicted 2" and we got 10" last week!

The best things is that this is a school vacation week, so they don't have to worry about snow days and making the kids go EVEN LONGER in June!

Of course homeschool HAS no snow days, heh, heh. I just sent the kids out to shovel the deck. I'm concerned that the foot and half already there PLUS the additional snow might just bring it down! Clare just filled the bird feeder so the critters can get some food easily in all this!

When they're done with the deck, they'll do the front walk and porch. They can get the first 6" off, that will be easier than getting the full amount off later! Then they can come in and do Math! That's all they'll have, schoolwise, for today.

What a relief! I am like you, I hate answering the door when I'm not expecting anyone. I grew up way out in the country, and I always was a little freaked out when people came to our door that we didn't know.

Must find chores to do.. must find chores.

You can come on over to my house. My daughter could use some help catching up on hers. ;^)

so any polyester that's in the clothes you're wearing right now could have at one time been a movie print...

Somewhere there's an elf wearing an Ishtar leotard...

You said you saw "Daredevil", right? Does Affleck kill the movie? I just recently learned that he was in it, and it is almost stopping me from going to see it.

Okay. I can't put it off any longer. I have to find some snowpants and go get the ice off the car.

No, but "Throw Momma from the Train" could make some people break out in hives....
