Ah, miss Susie and Davis, lost marbles are a frequent topic of conversation ’round these parts.
A BYOM party, aye?
urge + play + rest = interesting combo.
Blessings.
hiya darlene :-)
just some things i was looking at and thinking about.
How quickly we can “lose our marbles” without sufficient rest and play.
bring your marbles
i’ll draw a circle in the dirt
and we shall play
Jazz musicians know how to play
they leap and skip
they swoon and dip
they trip
the light
fantastic
