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.

It isn't all that, really, though it ain't bad from that angle! I don't photograph the old mobile or the store next door on the other side!

The old mobile is not an issue for me - ESPECIALLY in light of that view. I lived in a trailor until we bought the house by W. The last 3 years I was in Austin I found a place to rent to park it 40 yards from Lake Travis. My kitchen window, front door and part of living room faced west looking across the lake at the hills so I could watch the sunsets there. It was breathtaking. If I looked the other direction there was just a bunch of other shabby houses. But, I had one of the BEST views in Austin from my front side of the house. I was in heaven.

As for the store, gee, I thought that was a perk. After 17 years of living 8.5 miles from the nearest store I find the nearness of stores to be something I can value here. I used to smoke. If I ran out of cigs the stores that were 8.5 miles away closed after 10PM and I had to go 14 miles for smokes!!! Ugh. You know, sometimes it just happens.

She might if she were hungry. And they ticked her off. Remember the CATfish? She does like bottom feeders.

My bunnies are in heaven.... they like it when I weed-wack.... they are out chowin' down. I guess it is easier than cutting it down themselves.
