The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Well...I leave my dog out when I’m gone. I don’t think he’s infinitely barky, though.

Ungh...long day. Long week. And I didn’t have time to write before work and I think I have a sore throat.

And my fish appears to be cursing at me. I changed his water today, which meant he had to stay in his little bucket while the water adjusted, and although he’s back in the jar and has been fed, he’s still *mad*. At least he’s stopped clicking on the glass, which is a little freaky.

Yeah, well, they do leave their dog out barking. In a small yard. With lots and lots of neighbors. Our neighbor lady, a retired lady, has asked them not to and they do anyway.

Oh, excellent!

Talon and I should be able to attend. We’re driving to my folks in PA for Christmas and since we haven’t got firm plans yet, we can arrange our trip so as to be there.

Someone from the HH should be :)

Well, congratulations on the formal date and arrangements and all! I won’t be able to come (saving up to go see Nephew 1), but I’ll keep you guys in my prayers, if nothing else!

God bless you both!

re-good mornin’...

Final round of homework is done.

Now all I have to do today is:

1) Go to DMV (or convince Mrs. to do likewise)
2) Clean out the garage, put stuff in building
3) Buy padlock and paint for said buildling
4) Make a bank deposit (most swiftly)
5) Take Nana her VCR and set that up
6) Take the stuff to the landfill that’s not going to the garage (see item #2)
7) Rehearsal from 4-6
8) Find time to write
