She promised not to tell! Actually, I got into bubble blowing in my latter years. When I was going with a woman 20 years ago, she had a pre-teen daughter and when we were visiting La Jolla, I saw these people blowing ginormous bubbles. I wondered how they were getting them so big so I went over to investigate. They had a stick with a rope attached which they dipped into the bubble mix and then lifted it up and twirled the stick into the wind. HUGE bubbles would appear and float away with the wind.
When Faye and I were at the Silverton a few years ago, and they had the San Gennaro Festival on their property. I saw a little girl with a bubble machine gun which would make a ton of bubbles with one pull of the trigger. I asked her where she bought it and she pointed to this tent. I went over to the tent and they were just about to close and the lady sold me the last one she had on hand. I knew my granddaughter would have a blast playing with it, and I sure was right. She still plays with it to this day!
