Almost time for the January minimeet!

[gottahaveahoove]

I just got back from New Orleans. It's not time to start planning the January meet before the Christmas stuff comes down.
It will be loads of fun, I'm sure.

Hi gottahaveahoover, how was your Christmas and New Year’s? I hope you had a great time at New Orléans! Have you checked out my post about my Christmas present my sister got me? You’re gonna be amazed on what I got!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Gabriel!

Yes, I did. Great machines.
Since my parents are both deceased, my aunt and I always go to Virginia to my sister's for Christmas. Her daughter, my niece, is on medical school in New Orleans. She just had her first baby 7 weeks ago. Instead of her, her hubby, and little Benjamin schlepping to VA, we ALL went to her, staying in an air B&B. It was wonderful, hot (70 degrees), etc. We were only 30 minutes from the French Quarter... We went to the World War II National Museum. PHENOMENAL!!! It was a better history lesson than 4 years of High School. Were were there 9 days.....things were backing up back at home, (holiday entertaining, etc) But...........was great to see my family and the newest addition.
Yes, the mini meet will be at the end of January. I'm sure lots of vintage and newer machines will be here. What to cook??? details, details.....

Gottahaveahoover, well I’m glad you had a great time at New Orléans. Sounds like a blast! And the mini meet sounds like fun! Get to play with collectors vintage vacs!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

It would be so great to have you

at my home sometime.

Soooo excited!

Meet #2 for me already! Thanks for the invite yet again.


If anyone is planning to go and has an extra outer bag, as well as spare belts, for this gorgeous beast, it'd be greatly appreciated. Or, as the young folks like me say, "HMU."

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Hopefully, someone in the group can help you.

Only the big tree (10 feet) is up this year. W/ the trip, etc... just not enough time.
But, we'll all have a great time, a nice dinner, etc.
So looking forward to seeing everyone again.
Hopefully, it won't snow.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

well

looks like it's a go for 9 people

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'll "line" the big staircase

with all different Hoovers this time.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

If I can, this time

I'll try to get out at least some of the "vault" machines. I think everyone would enjoy seeing them

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Now, to choose the menu

"comfort food" of some sort, no doubt

 

[gottahaveahoove]

will be tons of

fun, food, friends, and... photos !!

Question ...

Bill W.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

It is scheduled for

Saturday, January 26... people arrive around 1:00 ish.
As of now,there are 9 coming. YAY !!

 

[tazcatsdad]

Thanks for that info ...

... going to see if I can make it that weekend also, if it is okay with you!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

No. YOU CAN'T COME !!!!!!!!!!

SILL BOY... of course you may. You're always welcome here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe bring you model 70 Convertible........we'll have an army of them.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Now,

there are 10 people attending. "Happy Dance".

 

[gottahaveahoove]

We've had HORRIBLE snow this week.

The temp dropped to 2 degrees FAHRENHEIT!
I postponed a dinner party this past week... (twice)... to some time in the future.
I'm thinking all is a "GO" this Saturday. The menu has changed, however.
It will be great to see everyone, And, to finally take down the tree, etc.
Time for the Valentines.....................
I'm thinking of lining "that staircase" this time with things from the 40s and the complete 50s lineup. Of course, the first and last Convertible would also be fun.
I'm gonna try to get out SOME of the vault machines, as well.
YAY !
