http://nookworm-connectiMemories of my Old Pop
Pop Drake (my Mother's father) was quieter and deeper and way less fun except for his piano playing. He never read music, just played away. He also took me for walks to the ice cream store and we would stop by the stock yards and watched animals being loaded onto railroad cars. I didn't know they were to become the meat we ate! He had a glass eye and would pop it out into his hand so I could touch it and see it up close. I liked that! When I knew him he was totally bald.
He had a very long first name - Aurelius Alva - but everyone called him "Real."
Oh, I would have loved the eyeball, too. My dad would thrill his grandkids by popping out his false teeth. lol MEN!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your grandfathers were very handsome.
Like Leave it to Davis my dad always popped the false teeth out too. So great seeing these old photos you have. Can't say how happy I am to have you linking up :)
