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.

Hey, guys, still going strong? LOL! Looks like you've outlasted most of the regular crew here!

Still up, watching Apollo 13 on one of the Encore movie channels here....

Heh, that's not very specific... half the dang movie takes place at Helm's Deep! ;)

How has quality of the cookies been? I understand this is the special batch that Rose found?

Are y'all having a good time? Well that's a silly question, I'm sure you are!

I've been web-cruising looking for a vacation place to rent for when we go to Wyoming or Montana, we can't decide which. Somewhere near Yellowstone!

I just got finished printing up all the items I needed to go with each care package. I took the really small Hobbit Hole graphic (like the one in my profile) and made it look just like the ones you did on the labels...then I put each contributor's name and address under the graphic and printed them up on index cards. I divided them up and slipped a couple in each box. Some I actually stuck to the item that was sent to me, or the item I was instructed to buy.

I'm really wiped out...shoulda gone to bed hours ago.

Sounds like the dwarves had a good time!

Gnad and Corin: glad the Dwarf-Moot went off as planned. Sounds like a good time was had by all. What's on the agenda for today, ax sharpening, mining 401 (advanced) or simply a pipe whislt making a quick orc tally.

There's a more recent batch of cookies making the rounds?

Do tell...

The last batch I got was from 2JM.

Morning, OB!

The rain has past and we now have sunny skies with highs in the 70's. Hope to get lots of stuff done in the yard today. The ground is still soggy over here so no tilling today.

Well now for a good hobbit-sized breakfast!

Jealousy ensues...

We're on our 4th day of rain here. Gloomy and water-logged...much like Bree.

The weatherman says that tomorrow we're supposed to see some sun, but frankly, I just don't believe him anymore!

Impeach Channel 10 Weatherguy! lol

It was a good night... great time with a good friend... there were few survivors, but the dwarves stand alone...

breakfast is bacon and eggs, then a tour of the base...

btw, ksen, you got male...
