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.

Morning Ruthie. Thanks for the breakfast. I'm catching up. The good thing about having snow days this week was - I had a whole day to sit around and watch FOTR EE then have cookies all at once. A real treat indeed.

Mornin' Ruthy! Thanks for breakfast.

I'm feelin' like crap here. Between getting up at 4:00 a.m. and taking cold medicine, it's all I can do to stay awake. I'd think about going home, but I'm not sure I could stay awake to drive...

Wake me for lunch....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I like to put in either of the soundtracks, or the original release of the FOTR to listen to as I work...

Hi (((Pip)))!!! :) Have some nice, crispy bacon before the Dwarves arrive! You do realize g'nad is supposed to return today, don't you? *grin*

WN - I hear ya! We don't get "snow days" here, but I sure do wish we would get "heat days". There are some days where you break a sweat the minute you open the front door! NASTY!

Too late for Pip, the Dwarves have arrived!
I'll run to the kitchen and get more bacon fried.
I hope my dear Corin gets some much needed rest
In order to be at his tough, Dwarvish best!

Welcome g'nad, have a bite or three?
A hard-working Dwarf is a pleasure to see.
Check on dear Corin, every once in a while
Take him this stew for me, it should make him smile. :)

I'll be off to my work, after serving this meal
Farmer Maggot's got mushrooms priced at a steal!
I hope to have lunch served to all by noon
I must be off now, I'll be back real soon.

I like the original release to do housework by, because I don't really need to watch it...can see it in my mind's eye. With the extended, I'm still transfixed with the changes and find myself sitting down too much! LOL

Morning all and thanks for the breakfast.

I put in the regular most days, instead of the extended so I don't have to switch, too. And I love doing my house stuff on days when I don't have to work with it going on in the background. I start by putting it on, then make coffee, then start some breakfast, and pick-up the house. Then I check the Hobbit Hole. Then I'm ready to face the day. It is a great routine for a Saturday morning. Have a yard sale schedule for tomorrow though, and then work the funnel cake booth for the HS band at the local festivities in the afternoon. I will really miss my routine.

I read the section where Aragorn announces the trothplighting of Faramir and Eowyn before I went to sleep last night. Sigh. It was a happy thought before sleep.
