I love my bells

And what I love best about my bells is that they're BIG!

Well, actually I love the tone and the sound of them. But it cracks me up when people come up to me after we ring somewhere and say "How do you lift those things!" or, "How much do those weigh!"

I'm getting my callouses back -- I get them on the first knuckles of my thumbs and index fingers, and sometimes on the second.

For the record, my bells weigh anywhere from 8 pounds, 4 ounces to 3 pounds, so it's not like I'm getting callouses from dinky little 8 oz bells......
