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.

LOL I think they'll have to settle for a whistle concert now and then...

When we got in from the creek just now we found them all snuggled in their coop, all in one nest box. We just had to shut the door.

Ok, now I'm responding to you!! LOL

After I did that coop painting, Steve started taking my idea to paint an F16 on the shop more seriously...taking me more seriously, I should say...he thinks any minute I could do it!

Hullo 2J!

Does the F-16 really go with the sunflower theme in the yard though?

Hullo to anyone who is left after the eventful day you all had in the "Back Room" and all. Wow! It Got really interesting there and here after I had left for the dentist. So, do we have new " ping friends" from that round? If so, welcome, hope you find some rest and peace for your weary souls. (sounds like an advertisement for a funeral home)

Kinda a busy day...getting my yearly lecture from the dentist about not taking care of myself. I told him I haven't had the cash to. I think they must think all we have to do is sit around and look after our teeth. I guess that's their world.

Hope all are well and having good Fridays with movies, books, family, and friends.

J2, sorry things are not right with your eye just yet. Still praying and hoping all will be well soon.

Wn still lift up your son-law and the guys serving with him.

Also still in prayer for those in need of employment... know there is a place for you.

Backyard (I think it was you) MST3k is the best, esp love the grasshopper one.

Thanks for the kind comment, Hair, appreciate it. Also appreciate your attempts to answer each one who posts here to make them feel "at home", to care about what's important in their lives. I think those who kick up such a fuss over this sight are alot of times really wanting what's here and just don't know it. Anyway, thanks for your heart.

I'm gonna go to bed now, hope you all sleep well and have a good weekend.

Morning all ye snobs and geeks! (she said in a loving tone of voice)

Got a busy one today. Will be taking the dogs out for their Sat. morning romp in the park here in a minute or two. Am going to try to make a few more neckerchiefs for them, as well. Later in the day, after some serious house cleaning, we're gonna go see Pirates.... I'm all a'twitter. Something about men with long, flowing locks... There's also some discussion about seeing T3 again. Big'ol's a big ol' Aaaaaahnold fan and our DVD cabinet is full of Aaaaahnold movies. :)

Morning everyone.

Probably I won't be around today.

My buddy's been told that his mom will probably die this weekend (from Alzheiners), so I guess she could use some prayer.

See everyone later.

Mornin' all. Just finishing coffee. Gonna run some errands and come back and work in the yard. This is my last Saturday for the next three weeks (beach week!)

Have an "adult" party at the pool tonite...no g'nad, it's not what yer thinkin'.

We're having a "luau." Adults only. BYOB. If I'm not too well "preserved" after that, I'll check in tonite.

Morning, everyone!

Stayed up 'til 2:00 watching SE last night. Then TCM was showing Seven Samurai but I was too pooped to read subtitles.

It's another HGTV type day here!

In your dreams, braggart.

Okay, coffee's done. I gotta get movin'

I just finished writing a nasty gram for the pool (okay I was nice). But this woman called the other day and wanted her membership back because "I joined for my daughter and she told me she really didn't want to join. Her friend wanted her to and she just wasn't strong enough to say no."

I am not making this up. And I really didn't say that I thought next year they'd be better off spending their money on therapy.

But she ain't gettin' a refund.

Later.

sounds like y'all had a great time... sorry yer eye ain't right yet...

chicken boxes are next.... figgered we'd make at least 4 or 5... guineas like covered or "hideout" boxes to lay in, so the chicken boxes and roosts are the least of my worries... we'll use straw on the floor too...

Good morning everyone. In case I can't get back here today, have a great weekend.

OT, I know what you mean about HGTV, I am dreading my day too for that reason.

Sam, sorry to hear about your friend's mother.

2J, I am really glad to hear that your eye is on the mend. Maybe they should regulate those kitchen gadgets! /sarcasm>

Corin, it may be fun to see you in here all "well preserved"! Heh! I guess I'll have to wait to hear from Ruthy after Entmoot...Enjoy the Luau anyway.

Hopefully I'll see you guys later...
