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.

My friends that adopted the baby from Romania started out like that. The father is retired, 60+, and had raised 3 boys without ever changing a diaper. The mother is about my age, and works full time. So dad this time around was primary care giver during the day! - It has changed his life! - And made for a pretty rough and tumble little girl since she spends all day with him outside with the horses.

It did kindof give her the vocabulary of an old crusty cowboy though.... Her mom lives in fear of what she might say at school when she stubs her toe. ;~D

I can relate!

Last night, I told Becky "It's night time, which means it's time for bed!"

She turned away from me and mumbled "night time sucks!"

*blushing*

Very good then!

If he drops the horse halter on the floor I will say "Pick that up or I am gonna hang you from the hook it belongs on."

That is what my trainer said to me the day I arrived.

BTW, the "snake out of the bag" comment was one of those posts I wish I could have typed differently! *cracking up*

Giving him ideas?

I think it has finally warmed up enough to do some weed-wacking soon. Needed to wait till the tall grass dried out a bit from the dew.

My grass will never be dry again. I'm applying for federal wetlands money...
