See that, Rob? Even this TTI made Hoover trumps that "foreign thing" that you dared to bring!

15 minutes worth of vacuuming with a brand new Filter Queen........and all of THIS is what ONE SINGLE PASS of a Hoover Model 70 pulled out. Shame, shame.
To be fair....
The 'good carpets' produced only red and creme carpet fibers...all had to agree.
The hallway carpet was left there by the carpenters during the demolition, construction. I though I'd have to replace it. I don't think so now. it looks practically brand new. Rob was 'beside himself' at the discovery of what those HOOVERS did in comparison to his 'demo' unit. Ah, well................. all is well at the palace.as Mike calls it. It's been called a LOT of things.
Rob's supervisor (on the phone) was a bit surprised to hear that the 'client' had a tester...and used it! His advice to Rob concerning my home visit was, "Forget it, he beat you'. And, this guy had THAT many cleaners? He's crazy. I've been called THAT recently by another, or two as well. Am I worried? Nope. "Boss" would be so pleased.

So this 'palace' had a lot of royalty this weekend
But it wasn't a 'Filter Queen".
HOOVERS from both sides of the 'pond' were in full swing. Bill brought an adapter, but the circuit breaker tripped twice. Once was that F Queen. That could be called a Royal "flush".....Sorry, HAD to..........

If I had to describe my first mini-meet in one word ...
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... it would be awesome with a capital A! I had so much fun -- and John is an absolutely wonderful host! I'm so blessed and honored to have made his acquaintance. Rob and Matt, you both were truly a joy to meet and I do hope that our paths will cross again very soon.</span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">Greg, I think that would be a splendid idea! We are indeed very close to one another residence-wise, so we shouldn't have a problem working out logistics at all. Please feel free to contact me!</span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">I have some pictures to share of this weekend as well, but since this is the first opportunity that I've had to really relax since getting home from PA I will post them either tomorrow or Wednesday. Right now -- time to call it one of the best days I've ever had.</span>

Aaaaaaw loving the cats as usual
Yes, it was amazing how both Arthur AND Murphy
just mulled about during all of the excitement. I truly believe they think everyon comes to see them. AS Auntie Mame said to young Patrick at the party,"Circulate, Darling, Circulate". And, the did! And, never once have they ever tried to eat anything from the table. Good boys, indeed.

I am amazed at how your cats stay close to you with all those vacuums....
Soloman, our cat is very loving and will hang around people unless there is a vacuum in the room....

And Murphy, just taking everything in his stride

John's culinary skills are legendary ...
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">... and the results are most enjoyable (as I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you who have been to his meets in the past)! Here, he's preparing those delicious egg creams he spoke of earlier.</span>

Before "Zippy" arrived,
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">we had a chance to play with a few of the machines I brought along with me. Here's Matt, giving my Junior Dirtsearcher a quick spin.</span>

After we enjoyed our dinner,
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva;">we got down to some serious HOOVERING. Rob (aka "Zippy") arrived with his Filter Queen in tow. John brought out his Hoover Dirt Meter, and we began having some real FUN! Matt started cleaning with John's brand-new TTI WindTunnel ...</span>
