The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)

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.

Close one!

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, come to think of it.... I don't really know where any of them ~went~

[2Jedismom]

I need to hide that singing gorilla my dearly departed FIL gave my boys...

Yikes, that thing gets on my nerves! I wonder if he did it on purpose.

[HairOfTheDog]

I wonder if he did it on purpose.

I would've! HA!

[SuziQ]

White River Junction is only about 2 1/2 hrs. from here. That would be fine. As I said, I'll check with SSQ. He might enjoy a drive up to VT. this weekend, but I'm sure the traffic is gonna be murder with the leaf peepers!! LOL!
But driving up and back on Sunday might be the way to go since the weekenders will have gotten up there by Sat. and won't be coming home (most likely) til Monday morning and afternoon!

[2Jedismom]

He would've too.

:-)

That's ok. I put whipped cream on his buttermilk pancakes recipe. HA! As Matthew says "He'd be turning over in his grave if he was in one!"

What movie was it that had people burying someone and one of those giggle things was in the casket and started goin off? - and the whole service slowly cracked up?

[Wneighbor]

What, only 665 messages from the time you left Friday until midnight last night....

[Corin Stormhands]

It's amazing just how many toys they no longer make batteries for...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

does this mean I ain't first place this week?

Well... no. See my next post!

[Wneighbor]

I need to hide that singing gorilla my dearly departed FIL gave my boys...

I gave my grandkids one of those!!! :-)

[2Jedismom]

What is it singing?? I can't figure it out?

Is it in a top hat and everything?

[RosieCotton]

I have a feeling the next set of post numbers are NOT gonna look good for me...

I talked too much this week.

[Corin Stormhands]

does this mean I ain't first place this week?

[HairOfTheDog]

Hey, I kept my third place standing! I'm OK with that...

[Wneighbor]

Well, I can only think of one appropriate response.....

IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE
MAC DAVIS
AMENDED BY WNEIGHBOR

Back of few months ago I was headling
at a great big night club
and they put me up at what they call the Star Suite:
Now here I am headling
at one of the biggest night clubs
in the country and I wake up
at eight o'clock in the morning
in this Star suite all by myself.

Aah that's what I said "Aah".
But I did what I've always done to cheer myself up

I picked up my guitar

I sat down and wrote me a little song.
Now this is how it feels to be alone
at the top of the hill and trying to figure out why

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror

'cos I get better looking each day
to know me is to love me

I must be a hell of a woman.
O Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.

I used to have a boyfriend
but I guess he just could'n't complete
with all of these lovestarved men
who keep clamouring at my feet.
Well I probably find me another
but I guess they're all in awe of me

who cares I never get lonesome
cause I treasure my own company.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror

'cos I get better looking each day
to know me is to love me

I must be a hell of a woman.
O Lord it's hard to be humble
but I'm doing the best that I can.

I guess you can say I'm a loner

a cowgirl outlaw tough and proud
Well
I could have lots of friends if I wanted
but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd

some folks say that I'm "egotistical
well I don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do with the
way that I fill out my skintight blue jeans.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
when you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror

'cos I get better looking each day
to know me is to love me

I must be a hell of a woman.
O Lord it's hard to be humble
we are doing the best that we can.

[Wneighbor]

Is it in a top hat and everything?

Different gorillas.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Yes, but you still set a personal record. ;) Your previous high number of posts was 259, Week 6.
