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.

Well, I see y'all were having great fun at my expense. ;-)

I wouldn't want to let you down ole buddy. ;^)

I was watching Black Hawk Down. I'm still letting it all sink in.

That's a pretty sobering flick. I still haven't seen the first half of it yet though. I've seen from where the Colonel is hauling butt trying to get his humvees out of Mogadishu and then is ordered back in, gets shot, and then gets his men back out to the base.

Where did you go?

I'm starting to think of places to take him. Covered bridges...hill tops (not like NZ, though...) maybe a bluegrass jam...

Good morning!

Joshua went to bed complaining that his ears felt full and that they hurt. First time he has ever complained of something like that...maybe he just got old enough to articulate it. I gave him some Advil and some decongestant but I'm sure I'll be taking him in this afternoon.

No...thank goodness, no. He usually weathers even the occassional runny nose ok and he and Matthew are more likely to get stomach aches than respiratory infections!

Welcome home WN. You take whatever time you need. We'll always be here when you are able to make it back.

Your Grama really is a miracle. I'm praying for you and her.

I just took hyim around a small town. Took his picture in front of the music store, on the sidewalk, at the bandstand, at our "historic site" :)

Cool. Gave him the grand tour?

He's headed to MA next, right?

Had an interesting day yesterday... got home from a visitin' neighbors, and I found a hummingbird laying on our back porch... bein' the ham-handed dwarf I am, I passed him off to the missus, who held him while he drank some sugar water... after about 10 minutes, he got his strength back and flew away...

BTW, the missus was sorry to post and run Saturday... we had to go to a friends house fer dinner... she'll get back to yuh...

Oh.... g'mornin' everyone... gotta go to the tractor store pretty quick... gotta pick up a few parts... then I gottta plow a food plot...

That happened to me once when I was in nursing school...a hummingbird plowed into the plate glass window of my dorm lobby (same dorm where I whopped the girl with the fan). Anyway...the bird lay on the porch and I ran out and got it...I just held it for a while till it came to it's senses and it flew off.

I love hummingbirds...ruby-throated are so pretty.

Morning all.

I'm fixing to go to class now.

Thanks all ya'll who came in with the well wishes after I was off line. It sure is nice to have a welcome home after a tough few days.

2J, I was replyin' to ya last night when the thing went down and I was just too tired to keep trying. Sure had a good night's sleep in a bed though. :-)

That's Josh too...a respiratory crud of some sort.

I was actually feeling a bit timid about showing it to you...thought you'd think it was a bit silly! LOL But I pinged you to it so you could show the Missus!

I am rediculously proud of it.

I'm treating stuffy nosed kids today!
