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.

Boy I bet you got reamed for that one. Momentarily I will go and see.

I just got through being a mosquito buffet while I was out trying to give attention to this dog. She is really missing Myranda. I don't spend time with her like Myranda does. I am only the egg cook.

Good night if you're still around. I missed a little while. Trying to make Smeagol brighten up. I can already see it's going to be more difficult with her after Myranda goes off.

So, when is Myranda back?

Poetry break! Name that author... (all right, it's a trick question). This is one of the best verses.

"He sees no stars who does not see them first
of living silver made that sudden burst
to flame like flowers beneath an ancient song,
whose very echo after music long
has since pursued. There is no firmament,
only a void, unless a jewelled tent
myth-woven and elf-patterned; and no earth,
unless the mother's womb whence all have birth."

We've been in such a rut around here lately, I think I am still adjusting my cooking to no kids at home anymore. It's hard to cook for two. So tonight I am trying something different for a supper meal for two, not new just different. Ham and candied sweet potatoes. I'm not sure how they will taste for a warm evening. Seems more a winter meal, but hey, it's different.

Nice verse. Ummm,,,, the author,,,, I wrote that!!!

okay, i lied. but you already told us who you got sent. :-)

Myranda comes home on the 30th. She is having fun. Thursday is her birthday and they are going to be traveling to Munich to visit one of Myranda's friends. She made friends here at first with a group of exchange students. Since she was new here and they were new here they just all fell in together. One of the girls travelled with us to several places in Texas so she could see "real" Texans. So, now that Myranda is in Germany she gets the "real" German's tour of Munich and vicinity. This will be a treat for the other daughter as well since she hasn't been to Munich either. So, there will be a nice long birthday weekend!!! Yeah!!!

Gondor has no calendar. Gondor needs no calendar.

Gondor knows not the day.

I was disappointed that no one noticed the precious....

LOL! I see it now! Had to look carefully! It was obscured by all that other gold stuff. ;-)

I need to buy a new one for Entmoot.

Me too! Mine is one I bought when I had just gotten out of high school. It pretty much still fits, albeit not as flatteringly (is that a word), but it's disintigrating.

Probably take my own advice on that thread and find one at a sporting goods store. They're usually sturdier and don't hike up!

Why, that was our patron, Professor Tolkien! It was from his long verse, "Mythopaeia" (I think I spelled that wrong).

It's very cute, what is the context? That womb stuff seems slightly different, but good.

I think drinking grapefruit juice may help for mosquitos :-d

You'd thing there'd be lots of mosquitos around Rivendell, though perhaps it's cool enough there to keep them down to a dull roar. The elves would never have black flies, I'm sure...and most likely don't use leeches for bait, but throw fly rods.
