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.

so i just prayed for voicemail? wow, he has blessed voicemail now. LOL

OH! My friend who was here for the weekend loved my lemon balm. It has grown to take up most of the space in which I planted it and is lovely! So, I am now going to share it with her also. Spreading Carolina to a new place in Texas. (but, we're supposed to get up to 106 today - hope that doesn't wipe it out)

Glad the lemon balm worked out for ya...it's taken over here too. I really need to trim your mint and the oregano and do something about those trees.

Mornin' all. Running late here today. With the switching of the cars last week (battery, etc.) I've misplaced my parking card and my security badge. So I had to be let in both places. They're somewhere at the house. I normally leave them in the car and when I don't I will put them in one of two places (usually). Could be that Luke moved them. Gotta find 'em or it'll cost me $15.00.

Not much time this a.m. Got to go to a committee meeting in the People's Republic of Charlottesville this afternoon. Not my committee. Not my issue. Bossman says I gotta go...'course it'll just delay that information he wanted...:-)

I was gonna post the Flat Frodo tracking info, but they haven't updated it since last Friday! It showed him leaving Shrewsbury, but not having arrived anywhere else! I hope the Nine were not abroad over the weekend!

Okay, quick garden questions.

I have lemon balm, lavendar and the doublemint from WN in pots. All are doing quite well. Should I just leave them there? Or should I put them in the ground? What's the best way to think ahead for wintering them? (or should I bother).

I'll have more questions later.

Morning all! Has anyone heard from Rosie lately? It seemed like she didn't post at all last week! Hope everything is OK!

Morning everyone.

Caught up a little over the weekend when I was over at trini's house, but just can't do it today.

2J - sorry about your eye. I hope it heals very quickly! OUCH!

I'm too tired and down in the dumps right now to be inspired for breakfast making. I'll be by later to post lunch if I feel better.

See you all later.

Good morning!

The eye is much better, although still very blurry. If that doesn't improve, I imagine I'll have to go back to the doctor. I hope it isn't permanent.

Just let the chickens out. They are huge!

OK - I am not very good that this, but I will help ya there Ruthy! I am so very sorry that you are in the dumps!

On short notice I can come up with only bread (make the toast yourself!) a selection of cold cereals, and a fairly accommodating-looking cow.

We'll be OK today, but we can't go on like this without you!

I haven't heard how the visit with your friend went WN - Whether she brought news or just was worried and wanting to visit...

Regardless, I am sure Smeagol is pleased to be home.

I bet you might be blurry...... Eye can' function right with a big cut in it..... Glad that at least it doesn't hurt as much!

Hullo! - Good morning!

I have learned that no one really notices you're late if you bring doughnuts...

And coffee...
