Preparing for my annual trip to N Canton

[gottahaveahoove]

Yes,  Hoover's 115th birthday is rapidly approaching. I make my yearly 'pilgrimage' there.  It's great to see the town, my friends, the old Hoover buildings, etc. We'll even see Will, I'm sure.


  Who knows what Tom (A.) and I will find.


  I'll post pics, if you'd like.


 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'll ne making some

Fun things from my kitchen as well. Who know what antics will ensue?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I always make home made things to bring with me.

I believe I'll be making spaghetti sauce with meatballs,  Irish soda bread, and, of course,  cookies.  I'll no doubt make a few pitchers of iced tea as well.


  It will be great to visit again  to see great friends and celebrate Hoover's 115 th birthday.

Leaving later today.

Only a very few things are coming home with me.one is a portapower with wheels, some bags, a concept two electronic. But, the big deal is....... a table that was used in the cafeteria of the Hoover factory. With the legs off, Tom was amazed that it fit in my little Chevy. More later.

Well, made it home easily....5.5 hots. I'll post more p

One night, I visited Tom's attic! Very hot up there. Plus, we were once again, in the Hoover Factory buildings. We even ate lunch there so much of the International Building is perfectly intact. The old part is gutted. We also learned that Bag Plant 2 was recently demolished! We talked to the guy who handled it. Sad
