He had all kinds of fun gadgets, and games, puzzles, kites, you name it! The one thing I wanted was the

How did I get started with performing with Bubbles?

My sweet sister purchased a toy bubble maker for me for my birthday present many years ago. It was a red plastic tube that had a cotton ribbon attached to it. Fortunately I kept that thing around until I became a grandpa. So one day

I got it out, mixed up a bubble formula I had perfected and brought bubble magic to my grand-kids.

Over the years I’ve learned how to improve my secret recipe and make my own bubble wands. Whenever I do bubbles I feel a sense of peace and joy. I can see the same sense in others when they see my bubbles too! It's magic for the times we live in!
