Almost time for the January minimeet!

Bill, I got your message.

Sorry you won't be joining us. A LOT is happening. I'm being "borrowed" or "loaned" to another campus for a while. A teacher is having a baby there. She's having some problems.... was told TODAY that she's done w/ work. Mad dash to have ME take her classes. It's been hard.

Well, it was a huge success!!!

We welcomed a new person from Allentown, John Carter.Chris couldn't make it, family emergency. LOTS of machines. I lined the staircase w/ different machines this time: yellow floor washer, blue Lark, model 26, 28, 65 (pink AND gold), a few handivacs, etc.
Dinner was: Waldorf salad, Italian wedding soup, lasagna, chocolate cake....
It was SOOOO great to have these friends in my home again.
Pics will follow soon.

We had

A very wonderful time! I wasn’t able to get a whole mess of photos this time due to our Chris (hoover 28) not being able to make it due to some family issues, so I had my hands full helping a couple of people out with servicing their machines. Dinner was delicious and thankfully John doesn’t need a Kristov to make a wonderful meal as he prepares it all himself. The wedding soup was delightful and considering I don’t eat much with mayo in it the Waldorf salad was pretty much scoffed up pretty quickly by the others. Now on to the main course, lasagna was very hearty and tasty as a matter of fact just right! Desert, chocolate cake with homemade frosting so moist and tasty sadly I’m trying to diet but having that cake recipe before I just had to have a piece.

As far as photos here is what I have. it will be nice to go back down again for another meet as it always is fun. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to host my own mini meets. It’s not a matter of being able to however it’s about timing and time is scarce for me.

I can't tell you how much I really

love when these people come to mu home. The other night, there were several conversations going in the front living room, with the Christmas tree aglow. People snacking in the other room, measuring for central vac upstairs, lol. It was wonderful. Must have been: people stayed until 1:30 a.m.

We welcomed a new person to the group, too.
I LOVE having these meets.
Good friends, good food, good fun, great vacuums.

Robbie L.: we'll talk soon. But............

I thought I was able to get you a NOS bag for your Hoover Lark. I was told, (on my phone message and on the phone itself) that someone had one, new from the late Betty Fritz. My friend, Joe, had an appointment right near the Vac shop in Scranton and kindly offered to pick up said item (s). When Joe arrived, he was told, "I don't know ANYTHING about that bag"!
So, Robbie, I tried my best. I'm sure one will turn up somewhere, someday. In the meantime, to quote my brother from another mother, Tom... Tom Who? Why Anderson, of course, "Happy Hoovering"...

The subject of the famous "Pittston Hospital iced tea&#3

came up. I had 2 pitchers ready for my guests's arrival. I usually think of that as a summer drink. But, I think I'd be flogged if they came and found none.
I wish there were more pics. It was such a great time.
Snowday today: making Valentine cookies, chicken cordon bleu , a "domestic kind of day. "Oh, the weather outside is frightful......"

It's days like this that remind me of Chanticleer's rendition of "In the Bleak Midwinter."
