sissydear Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 We had Joseph all this week - 8 years old. Grand Daddy drove Joseph and I to several locations in town to scatter marbles. I think we'll do it again next week. these are last Dance marbles, blue with yellow and oxblood ribbons swirling. Joseph placed a lot of marbles at the little city park. And also at our church play ground We put some out at a local Mexican Restaurant in the front where people could see them. I didn't have the camera when we did those. we plan to leave some in the school playgrounds next week. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 That's great. And part of a LONG tradition! I'm mildly worried about anyone admitting in writing that they do it. It's probably against some sort of law. But until someone finds the law and points it out to you, it's wonderful! lol And doesn't Joseph look grown up. p.s. gratuitous historical trivia: a lot of Vitros were secretly scattered in some of the poorest neighborhoods of New York during the summer of 1940. Henry Fisher donated them to a newspaper columnist who had written about his mother not being able to afford to keep him and his brothers supplied with mibs when they were boys.

MrsMopar Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Awwwww, bet he keeps you busy. Sounds like some other kids are going to end up having some fun too! (maybe even some bigger kids..lol) Thanx for sharing the fun Edna, have a great weekend! :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Let's see, did each marble have a tag attached stating "Not for Children Under the Age of ---?" Not that they'd be able to read anyway! Nothing like 'free range' marbles. David Chamberlain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I went to all the places we put them out today. All of the marbles were gone. Time to do it again with some different marbles. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I bet there's a lot of crows beautifying their nests and squirrels putting them away for a rainy day! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akro gatherer Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 2 Things............................first it is a shame that people dont know you shouldn't eat marbles. secondly i hate to tell you but Duffy is probably following you around and picking these up. :Cartoon_177: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
