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.

2J, I went to my bed finally at 3:30 this morning. Girl, I dreamed about ya'll.

You know, I actually thought about the Hobbit Hole when I was getting the boys ready...getting them dressed. I put their red shoes on them and thought "Well, if I get in some national picture and the guys in the Hobbit Hole see me with my kids in their red Chuck Taylors, they'll know it's me!"

We got to see Paul have his name called, cross the stage and get his honor cord.

Sounds like a lovely time! Did you cry? I cried in church the other day when Matthew got his award for finishing memorizing all 11 hymns for choir!

What is a good age to leave kids alone at home briefly? I wonder if I could leave Matthew at home while I take Joshua to preschool this fall? He'll be 8 years old by then and it would only be for about an hour at the most.

Steve jumped up and reminded me for all the world of Sam and the Watcher in the water as he hacked away at the snake with our little pan fish with a stick! It was funny, a tug-of-war with the snake!

Now, that would have been a priceless video!

Do you have a nearby neighbor that you can have for any emergency call? I started leaving Jill at about that age because there was a neighbor 4 houses down who was home that she could call if she needed anything - or got scared.

Oh it was absolutely hysterical, except I was so stunned at first! The snake swam up within a couple of feet of Joshua's feet. I jerked Josh up and over the back of his lawnchair!

My neighbor would always say, "Well you can just bring her down." But, the point was, I would run to town, (10 minutes away) and she would want to stay home and I wanted her to learn a little independance and become confident in being able to call for help if she needed it.

Nope...not yet. Guess I could always accept and still look here.

Yes. I got it Friday. I think I posted to you when I got it but there you were on the lookout for tornadoes. I'm glad you guys made it through all that ok.

How did the fix-it job Steve did on the side of the house fare?

I think we started letting Elizabeth stay home alone when she was about 9 or 10. It all depends on the child. I suppose if you can trust Matthew not to get into the knife drawer or use the stove while you're gone, it's probably ok, especially since your Mom lives right down the road.

The house is all done on the outside...it's painted white though...which doesn't bother me. Nobody cares in this neighborhood...the people down the street have a lime green couch under their tree.

I could let Matthew play his computer games the whole time I was gone and he wouldn't budge.
