The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I was just thinking about that this morning. It's been more than a year. Wow. And what a year it's been!

Glad to hear about the violin, Rosie. Perhaps you can get a replacement at a ~pawn shop~

*shudder*

Huh-uh!

Actually, Margaret has one she could sell me, if I'm able to afford it before I leave. Not worth as much as the one I have now, but decent, and I like it.

Amen to that, sis.

Hair & ecurbh - do you have a link to the WeddingMoot pics on that site or do you need to FReepmail it to me?

Perhaps you could buy it on the installment plan? Put money down before you leave and pay the rest over three months or something?

Could probably do that. But she's not asking much for it...if all goes well, I'll easily be able to pay for it.

If she doesn't decide she's too sentimentally attached to it, that is. It was her first fiddle, though it doesn't get played that much any more since she has a better one.

Ah, well... it will be nice to have someone with musical ability around! Though I'll have to curtail my catterwauling, I suppose. As it is when I'm working at my desk, I'm usually singing. Doesn't sound too bad with the music but I imagine it's rather dreadful if you can't hear the music.

Coffee time!

Matthew just asked me "Are you hungry?" while I was looking over his Latin. I said "No, why?" and he said "Because you're shaking all over." I said "It's because I'm FREEZING!"

I need a nice hot coffee.

Latin is in a little over an hour. Celeste is feeling under the weather, so I'm going to pick up her son to take him and also pick up her daughter and let her hang out with me for a while. Give Celeste a couple of hours break.

Hopefully I don't drive you crazy practicing...

I promise not to play fiddle often, at least! At least not when you're around. That's the thing I'm worst at.

Heh, I wouldn't worry to much about my being around. During the school year I spend a good number of evenings at other people's apartments working on group projects.

Eventually when we can afford it, we can get a two-bedroom place and then you can just close a door and I can put on headphones and everything will be grand :-)

The wedding pages deal only with the wedding day itself... the other mooting pages appear to have only been put in Snapfish and loaded to the thread. The links are still live though!

WeddingMoot

Those are fun to look through!

We've been watchin' our redneck neighbors... These are all plain-clothes cops - got radios, sidearms and cuffs on their belts, and we can't figure out what they're doin'.

There's two unmarked sedans and the SUV, a marked patrol car and ecurbh saw them bringing out some kind of little bags that they wrote on and then put in a bigger bag. Didn't look like they arrested anyone, no one sitting in any of the cars. That van belongs to a friend that is over all the time.

Thanks for the link, I'll bookmark it. ;-)

I love going through the pictures. And I still have resisted watching the Entmoot video. It should be as much of a "wow, remember that" for me as for everyone else when we watch it at ShootMoot.

Don't forget the wedding tape, no matter what!

The soundtrack alone is priceless!

Question. Were they living there before you moved in?

That may explain the witch's circle. *cue Twilight Zone music*
