The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Posted on 08/04/2003 9:43:18 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Yahknow... It makes me wonder too, about so many generations that have passed before us, where all we get are the stories and histories that cannot possibly do justice to being there and seeing the greatness of the person as seen by those in the moment.

[did I say that, or just think it really loud?]

Wow...big first partial day (over 600 posts). We'll be imploding again in a couple months at this pace. JimRob will have to upgrade just to keep up with this place.

I'm counting on it.

So far, I think mine would read "Yeah, he was here for a while... so what?"

The stories that Hair has shared with me about ya'll's grandparents have made me think that our ancestors had a lot in common. I remember growing up that Grama made the stories come alive for me about people that had gone on before I was ever born. I've been trying diligently to get some of this down on paper in the last few months while I watched grama wither away. But, it hasn't worked. However, I can tell the stories and all the nieces and nephews like them. I can pass these people on to my grandkids, when they want to listen. And some of 'em will someday because some of 'em will be like us and care about that sort of thing.

Don't you think?

For how many years were those oral family stories the only touch with the past? And how many of our legends today grew from those?

HA! I will write my own obituary! And it will be larger than life. It will read, 6'6" tall 300 pounds.

LOL, I remember this post from shortly after I began posting in the Hobbit Hole. You posted some photos. I said something about the Mrs. and the response was indeed worthy of Gimli's description of Galadrial.

Sounds like to me that you two need to let me do the writin' for you too. Problem with that is that I am older than the both of you. So, by all rights, I shouldn't be here for that.

Well, at the rate Ramius and I are producing descendants, I am not sure who there would be to tell this story to anyhow! ;~D
