Tonight I went to my Grandmothers house after work..We've been meaning to go through some of her old pictures she has and of course it's one of those things that we never seem to do. We went through a few of them tonight and it brought back so many memories of my childhood.. and great memories at Grandma and Grandpas house!
I found this old picture in one of the boxes..
It is a picture of my Grandpa performing on stage.. He was a magician!
My Mom has told me stories of their white pet bunnies they used to have.. ones that he would make disappear on stage, (black top hat and all!) but Mom told me they always came home!. How fun would that be to have your father be a "real" magician???
Although he died in 1983, my fondest memories of him were his little magic tricks he'd show us grand kids. The severed thumb... which always intrigued me, card tricks, and disappearing coins!
This is the first time I have seen this picture.. and the first time I have seen him on stage! What an incredible picture to come across tonight!
I have 3 more boxes of pictures to thumb through! I wonder what others I'll find!!!!
And I thought it was great that my uncle was a cop and would show us his handcuffs! lol!
That is such a wonderful picture to have...and it's your own grandfather, too! just think of all the art you can do with that one!
