Well, finally am able to post!!!!
It's been a whirlwind! SOOOOO much fun, so many activities.
It's now over. Most people are on their way home now. My flight doesn't leave until 6:00 p.m.
A lot of us arrived Wed p.m. The hotel is fantastic!
Thursday morning, a few of us went to B.M.X. Gary's. A lot of us have bought things from him in the past. We got to go to his place. However, one sad, actually 'pathetic' incident occured. BEFORE we got there,someone who discovered we were going to visit Gary contacted him, telling HIM not to let US in his place. A few unpleasant things were said. However, Gary and his wife were, first, dumbfounded, then laughed. AND, then, he welcomed us all in to search everywhere for treasures. And, we did. IF we had more time, and better lighting, we'd have found more. We all left with fun things. A great time, indeed. It only got better after that. We had our board meeting at Kenny Loveland 's home. I made home made cupcakes and gallons of "Pittston Hospital Iced Tea".
Then, the next day, we were off to Phillip's and Shaylee's place. So rural, so much potential, so much construction. We enjoyed a great lunch, saw SO many machines, etc.
Then, on to Houston's and Scott's beautiful home. Again, a great meal, a beautiful pool, we even were entertained with showtunes on a pump organ. (I'm sure it was never intended for that!) Miss Tania even resembled Miss Esther Williams,in the beautiful in ground pool... competing with Sean Curry .. ( who replicates a mean Million Dollar Mermaid). Next day, amidst, meetings, contests, vacccum fun, flea markets, etc, onto kenny's beautiful 1960's period home. Again, we enjoyed tacos, tortilllas, dips, salsa, iced tea, cupcakes ,etc.
Saturday also saw meetings, excellent discussions, elections, a banquet, (yes, it was a banquet), great contests, including a super fab trivia contest, also, an interesting Kirby clinic, executed by (Dr. Kirby, himself), the one and only Bill Edstrom, with the help of a loyal assistant..... followed by a nice bowl of celebratory Cheetos. (More on that later).
Ken Wagman was awarded the annual Ruth Hollander award for outstanding service to The V.C.C.C., the original vacuum cleaner collectors' club. As you can see, nothing could douse the spirits of attendees of The V.C.C.C.
More details soon.
To put it mildly, a GREAT time was had by all!
