|
I found a bowling ball!!  Called the bowling alley and ask how and when do they dispose of old bowling balls. The man said 'we don't get rid of them'  Then he asked how many I needed and I said 'only one'. He said' well come and get it'  So now I will be making a gazing ball and hopefully it will be half as pretty and nice as those that I have seen here

The flat marbles. I am so happy to have 'sweet' talked the man into giving it up! It is a 14 pounder I ask him if he had a lighter one and he said he saves all those for the kids to use

They don't get rid of them?? Well, I guess it *is* a little hard to wear one out...

Slowly but surely ... got my grout and glass marbles today, so maybe one of these days, I'll 'git'er done'.That's Texas talk as well as Larry the Cable Guy!!! I have several other things I am trying to do as the weather gets nicer. At least I hope it stays this way. Beautiful today. So I do one thing and let it dry and go to another and back and forth

Congrats on getting a bowling ball. Took me years to find one and then I found them everywhere. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
