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.

You are adding to their post count! Are you with us, or against us?

Yeah, I've been over there a lot the past week or so. I'll try to stop initiating conversations. But I can't just drop off the face of the earth over there.

I am for the HH.

To the tune of - Our Country tis of Thee

Our HobbitHole tis of thee!
Thread of sweet liberty!
To thee I'll post!

Thread of the Hobbit's pride,
Where Dwarf and Elf reside,
And Gondorian skivvies hide!

To thee we'll post.

TNS is almost 2,500 posts ahead of us.

If we can't use spam, it's kinda like competing the Chinese in Olympic swimming...

There is a painting that shows them sitting on rocks by the gate...

Haven't found that one yet, but I did come across this Nasmith of the Grey Havens that is really touching. The beautiful light, the gulls, and the heartbreaking scene of Frodo and Sam's goodbye. (Can't wait to see this on film!) It's a big one, so I'll just link it. The Grey Havens

Well... if you want to hear something really cool...

I was the one who suggested we exchange Christmas presents that first time. Since I knew she liked teddy bears, picking out a present was fairly easy: I got her a cute teddy bear, boxed it up, and sent it on its way. I got her present on the day I was to travel to my parents house for Christmas (I was living about 100 miles away from them at that time). We didn't wait for Christmas day, but opened them then, while we were both online.

It turned out we sent each other the same bear... almost. Physically, there were identical, except for one difference: the one I sent her was brown, and the one she sent me was cream-colored. Anyone who's seen our picture knows how significant that little detail is. ;)

After that, we kinda knew we had something special!

Kewl! Although it looks like Redwood isn't one of the $7 ones.

Just got my bedroom back together so I don't have to sleep on the couch tonight. I know....I'm slack, but I didn't sleep very well last night.

That is a pretty one. I can't wait to see it either.

Have you seen the painting I speak of before?
