The Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Thanksgiving Bash

[dysonman1]

And Now For The Party

This is the food I made for my friends and fellow vacuum collectors to enjoy.

Proctor-Silex coffee - thanks for the beautiful coffee maker goes to the third VCCC President Charlie Watrous. He is such a good friend. Charlie and I got to visit a few weeks ago, and caught up on all the gossip and drama.

I'm carving the turkey. Smells SOOO good.

Our formal dining room awaiting our guests. I love my friends, and always give Thanks each year for every one of them.

Happy Thanksgiving (early) to the best group of Vacuum Collectors in the world. I love you all. Thanks guys for coming, not just for Thanksgiving, but for the Convention in the Summer as well. And all the visits throughout the year. Big Bear Daddy Hugs to all of you.

Enjoying each other's company. Good food, good friends, good times. Maybe even a little eggnog.

Running my Sanitaire power team Ironsides canister to clean up all the crumbs from desert.

All the guys took at turn with the Hoovrah. She's so "Pank".

My husband Donnie and I are worn out, but in a good way, and looking forward to seeing all the Vacuum Collectors in May for the Annual Convention. Now that's THREE days of sweepers, friends, and good times.

Hi Tom and Donnie!

Hey are you still giving away a free quart of eggnog with every vacuum purchase during December like you did last year?

 

[dysonman1]

Oh yes Charlie, we made eggnog. Homemade. And you know I have never touched a drop of alcohol in my life. Others may but I don’t.

Tom,
Thanks for the pictures. The store and the food looks great and I know what a wonderful cook you are from visits years ago.

Memorable visit to Rolla!

Thanks to Tom and Donnie for hosting such a great dinner party!  I enjoyed meeting everyone, and we all got along like old friends even from the first meeting! The food was off the charts!  I ate two full plates, and then completely went into a food coma.


 


The Rainbow was fun to use, and I couldn't believe the amount of dog hair and sand it picked up.  Such a great machine.


 


The Kirby had the self propelling drive and I had never felt such an intuitive response before!  Much different than Hoover's rendition, which I also like, but Kirby does it better, imho!


 


I am over the moon about my new Guardian Platinum.  It is in pristine condition and I will use it along with the rest of my collection for the rest of my life !

Thank you Bill:
I couldn't have done it without your help in the kitchen with all the prep work. My KitchenAid Superba just took its last load on Monday - with all the pots, pans, cutting boards, serving bowls, glasses, etc. it certainly got a work out. Not bad for a 1992 Dishwasher.

Thanks again for all your help on Saturday at the Vacuum Museum. We got so much of Eric's collection together. Displaying the "best" of his collection in the center of the Museum is a fitting tribute to his generosity. He certainly loved Hoover. As much as I do (but don't tell ANYONE - I wouldn't want people to think I love Hoover too). LOL

Can't wait to see you (and all the guys) in May at the Convention. You'll have to share your adventures using your new Electrolux Guardian Platinum. Such a beautiful machine.

Be sure to drink out of your Dickie's cup - I bet you get more questions about that "barbeque place" that people in California have never heard of. Wasn't the ice cream a wonderful way to end a meal of ribs and sides. Saint Louis style!!!
