Well, if all goes as planned....................
15 will be here. Maybe we could call Guinness World Records.. largest mini meet. Wouldn't that be silly?
The last "holiday" dinner here was last night. 4 co workers and I enjoyed chicken Parmesean, cavatappi, etc.. I put the lights on again. to better find the house. None had ever been here before. All had a good time. They asked about the "HOOVER thing". I went into careful detail about the Company, Boss Hoover, the vault, my involvement w/ the co, etc. They have a much better understanding of it now........ They asked, "Oh, can we please see the collection"? Of course, it's not all "together" yet. But, when touring the house, (only the public rooms", they saw 10 in the upstairs hall. luckily, the array of models had impressive historically pertinence to them. They laughed,, only for a minute. THEN, it ALL made sense.
Of course, it's my home, my collection, and my friends. To those who "don't get me", appeciate my, like me, etc" I really don't "give a s**t" anymore. That's one of the blessings that comes as we get older.
These co workers, like me, liked the meal, the tree(s), even the HOOVERS. It was a "win/win" all around.
The same will happen at the "meet". If you make it to the house, it's because I want you here.. to enjoy food, fun, vacuums (even the non-HOOVER species).
2 weeks and counting. I now can start selecting "choice vacuums" to bring out. yay!
