Luke,

You are welcome! It was great to see you again. I hope we didn't "scare" you too much. It truly was vacuum overload.
You're welcome here anytime.
John.

Looks like the whole ordeal was a

triumph!
We stayed up talking until about 4 a.m.
This morning, Bill and Rob, "Zippy" had a delectable "brunch" at Mark's and J.T.'s home. Rob stayed there last night. It was so kind of you to:bring that southern cake and pimento cheese dip,
Attend the get together,
Host us so gracioucly at you beautiful home this morning.
The New Youk "bunch" arrived home at around 2:00 a.m.
NOW, the Christmas stuff can come DOWN. The neighbors MUST think I'm crazy.
More photos SHORTLY.

We had a little trivia game

about all things, 'Hoover". Did you all know: 100 years ago, 01-15-15 Murray Spangler died?
Everyone went home with a little gift....simple things, but ALL for use to keep your home or car cleaner.


This morning, brunch at Mark's and J.T.'s

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Nice wheels,

huh?

Gallons of that iced tea were sucked down last night.

{can't help it if they like it so}. So, today, I took Bill Wood up to the old Pittston Hospital, The "Haven on the Hill". This is where tahttea was born... in a big crock on an old stove.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I love this

old place, for numerous reasons.
