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.

I was sitting here enjoying a platter of bean and cheese nachos with sour cream and hot sauce, until you posted that. Now I have no appetite.

Your Christmas tree is still up? Does it have any needles left?

It has ALL of them! We got a fake tree about 8 yrs. ago, when I was still chairing the annual Christmas Fair at the kids' school. We needed some extra trees for decorations, and I found some 7' trees on sale for $10 each! I bought 2 for the Fair and one for me. When we had the fair, I would bring mine up there for them to use, then bring it back home and put it up. They were actually very nice looking!

We put so many ornaments and lights on ours that you can't tell if it is real or not! I used to get so sick each year about that time, that I began to wonder if I were allergic to the balsam and firs used for the fresh wreaths that we custom decorated at the fair. That's one of the reasons I went ahead and got the fake tree, but it turns out I STILL got sick at that time every year. It was more a function of not getting enough rest during the few weeks leading up to it.

Our older sons really liked the fake tree because the needles on the real trees used to 'bite' them, they said! LOL! The kids have fun putting it together every year!

Aside from that, Corin what did they give you for the pink eye?

Antibiotic drops. Should be non-contagious in a couple of days.

Did you make sure to tell your employer how you absolutely must stay home for those few days till you aren't contagious and that you must rest in bed watching movies?

I am caught up and officially drugged.

Be sure to disinfect the keyboard and anything else you touched before you went to get drugged!

Good, good!

Prepare yourself for some sticky eyelids tomorrow! Ugh!

Hopefully it will clear up very quickly! :)

OK, here's Kevin, his wife and daughter. I can't recall if their names have been given in here, so I'll leave the formal introductions to Kevin! He has two boys, but they stayed with grandma this time around. We'll get to see them at Entmoot (or maybe sooner for Florida HHDs)! ;)

Actually, I felt like crap all weekend and when I got up this morning, with the eye, my sore throat, clogged ear, etc. I almost stayed home.

But I'm on leave Thursday and Friday to go to my college alumni board meeting. I need to be in.
