Although my days of hosting all of those meets (Monster mash bashes, etc),are over, I'm hosting will hemb from Ohio, for a few days after Christmas.  A few other friends, he and I, will have  few fun things planned.   One is a day trip to philadelphia.. to LOVE Park, the famous Wanamaker building, now MAY'S, the Comcast building to see their fab holiday presentation, then, on to peddlers village to see the lights, etc.... I'm getting things ready now.  I'll also prepare a nice new year's dinner.    Will be fun.

I'll be visiting my sister and her famoly

Over the holidays.   Harold will be camping out at Joe kassock's house.   He doesn't want him to be all alone in the big house for days.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.joe told me he'll be staying.    Lolol, no. He won't. MY place will be checked daily,(furnace), etc. Last year, I returned to z burst pipe!

Oh yeah. I remember the burst pipe incident.
I hope Harold enjoys his adventure!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Thanks. I do too.

I hope he's not upset when I leave him there.  But, also hope he's glad when I collect him to bring him home.

It would really be nice to meet other collectors in person , I wish I didn’t live on the other side of the country .

 

[gottahaveahoove]

There are many of them not far from me 2 hrs max

I only keep in contact with very few anymore. The reasons won't be discussed here.  But, I can. Still muster up a few....  I just vacuumed the "stairs". Lolol.  I thought I'd line it with Convertibles for will to be greeted by. I'll have the first, model 65, end with the rs...last Convertible.   And fill between with wonderful things.
