Prayers are sent your son's way Duffy. I'm with Ric, even if your kids are close to home, you still worry about them, I know I do. God bless him and all those there and see them to safety. :-) Felicia

Fantastic! I love seeing these ones that you don't get to see too often. Thanx all! They're gorgeous! :-) Felicia

Well, SplattmanSS, Edna knows her Jabo's a whole lot better than I do. I'm more of an "Oh that's pretty and caught my eye" person. I do like the blue they used. Edna's got a good idea, having some for examples. That's always helpful in learning. :-) Felicia

Nifty logo marble. I like'em, they've got a beautiful blue and the colors have a crisp look about them. :-) Felicia

Too kewl Rich! Thank you for sharing :-) Felicia

Hi marblemansion, Bill, if I may. I had read the heartfelt things that you wrote and pondered them as I walked into town (I live in a small town). I stopped and watched the movement of the river, folks driving along in their cars etc. During my errands and along the bus route, I continued to ponder..I heard folks greet one another with a "Good morning, how are you today?", folks beeping their horns and waving at others they know, I saw a family of geese by a building...simple, happy things...things that are often forgotten along the way, even enjoying the simple beauty of a marble held in our hand. I continued to ponder and thought perhaps rather than sell something you've spent time to build up, time to document, time to enjoy, maybe you could just box it up for a little while, the marbles, documentation and any other memorabilia? Maybe bring them back out one day in the future, go outside, find a nice place to just sit and look through them again. (Kinda like when folks gather and look through the old family photos and reminisce) Perhaps, if you have children it could be passed along to them? Something they can learn by and have fun with. These are just ponderings. It's a nice, sunny Spring day, birds are singing, the aroma of roses is in the air and I've enjoyed my morning and I hope everyone else enjoys their day as well. :-) Felicia

Those are kewl Duffy! As well as the scenic! Actually a bartender probably could use those for shots of 2 different liquors, mixed drinks kinda thing. :-) Felicia

Hey Ann...lol...here ya go...works for me! http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/spider/itsy-bitsy-spider.mid :-) Felicia

Mostly done sewing and taking a break from it for a little bit. Going into chill mode now, which involves looking at marbles, going ooooh and ahhhh over their beauty. How have y'all been these days? Glad you made it to WVa and back safely Gail. :-) Felicia

Fantastic Diane! LOL @ David BR549...Junior Samples is still around? :-) Felicia

They are indeed beautiful. Thank you David for the insight and information and to all who posted pictures. :-) Felicia

You Rang? :-) Felicia

Spectacular! Thank you Edna for sharing this experience. Hopefully everyone made it back home or their next destination safely. :-) Felicia

So many beautiful cat's eyes out there too, Rick. I have a deeeeeep purple one that makes me think of purple velvet, it's gorgeous! :-) Felicia

I can't tell what's in there on my screen. I agree about it looking like a fun group. Is that a little Santa in the lower right corner? :-) Felicia

Awwww ((((((Nancy))))))..(that's a hug) Great memories of loved ones last a lifetime, just by keeping that love in your heart. You have another angel watching over you now. :-) Felicia

Sounds fantastic already...plus you had Beri Fox of Marble King there, how kewl is that!? :-) Felicia

That certainly does seem unusual. Can't say I've recalled reading anything about brown in latt's. Pretty kewl stuffs! :-) Felicia

Purple is my 'happy color'. Maybe even because of Spring. The beautiful and aromatic lilacs, petunias and pansies (does anybody else call these monkey faces?). Don't you worry Gail, I've asked the Lord to protect your travels. I believe this will be a fun and wonderful experience. :-) Felicia

Perhaps not everyone has read Lou's updated rules? I confess, I just read them. http://marbleconnection.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=12234 Just a thought...if young folks are to become the future of marbles, why not make it youth-friendly? :-) Felicia

Oh, those soft blues are just sweeeeeeet! I can see why David C. would like them. Thanx for showing them Gail and have a safe and blessed trip! :-) Felicia

Lol Rich, at least you still have the memories. :-) Felicia

My condolences to you and your family Nancy. I pray the Lord give you strength during this time of loss. Really nifty stuff in the picture. The oddities are kewl! Have you had the chance to present some marbles to your dad? :-) Felicia

OMG! They're GORGEOUS!!! You should have put a warning on this post, "Enter with drool bib on"...WOW! I love'em all! :-) Felicia

Those are fab! So much variety and great colors to see. Thank you for sharing and I just have to say I simply love your humorous introduction in this thread MarbleClueless! :-) Felicia
