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!

[SuziQ]

Heh, knew it was you!

[Pippin]

er, which one is supposed to be me?

[SuziQ]

Those are great, Corin!! Aragorn looks perfect with the five-o-clock shadow!

[SuziQ]

Is that the Bakshi Boromir with the viking horns?

[SuziQ]

Also got a road atlas in case any printed out instructions don't have enough info for a particular area.

That's a wise thing to do. MapQuest give some really strange instructions sometimes. Always check them against the Road Atlas.

[SuziQ]

That's perfect, Mrsnad!!
BTW I've found all those books you were looking for, but one. I'm still looking, and will freepmail you with info when I find it.

[JenB]

Yes, but her instructions are something like "Get to Interstate 80, go a thousand miles, make a left at Cheyenne, go fifty miles, you're there". It's really not going to involve much navigation.

[g'nad]

as requested...

[HairOfTheDog]

Thank you!

[SuziQ]

Well, that's the straight shot. If she stops for mini-moots with ExGeeEye and Talon DJ, she'll have to navigate to meet up with them.

[ExGeeEye]

EatMoot will be within a score or so of Ent-strides from The One Road (I-80).

[SuziQ]

Well, that'll make it REAL easy!

[ExGeeEye]

Yep...you can see the sign from the freeway.

[ExGeeEye]

The Thread is...cleverly punned.

So I'll post some pics to pass the time.

This is what I dealt with for the better part of the afternoon.

Then the outtakes:

[SuziQ]

Looks like you had a busy afternoon!

[ExGeeEye]

We played Uno, and watched Greyfriars Bobby, and played Uno again. Their parents are friends of my cousin/roommate, and my other cousin (his sister) showed up too. Another of his friends was sort of expected but didn't appear.

As for these kids, their littlest brother stayed home with Gramma.

[SuziQ]

Is Greyfriars Bobby the old Disney show about a dog?

[JenB]

Sounds, um, loads of fun.

[g'nad]

This is what I dealt with for the better part of the afternoon.

may I suggest, duct tape and an empty closet...

[g'nad]

mine?...
