I'll just start off by saying I don't think I would ever dare host a vacuum party so I can only imagine what must have been going through Greg's and Lynn's minds when they decided to host several unknowns over the weekend.
I wanted to post a few pictures aside from the others because it really hits on the diversity of collecting that some of us do. Of course we ALL enjoyed eating and who wouldn't with Kelly and Greg's expertize in the kitchen. But most of these guys like their vacuums on top of washers! Check out some of these cool vacuums that Kelly and Greg displayed.

Ok so I got in on the action a little bit...
Strictly holding one for a photo op here but my it felt so natural. In return for Greg's hospitality I offered him an old Hoover that was in our house when we bought it. He graciously accepted. Actually...it was more like "OK!!! I WANT IT!!! I'LL TAKE IT!!!" as soon as he laid eyes on it.
A boy and his toys. :-)

Why was Patrick looking at me that way?
And why was I laughing? Because it turns out he was rather upset at me for a couple of reasons. No really...
It wasn't enough that my one and only Tony had to bring up the sore subject of a DE806 dryer in harvest gold that I passed up without realizing it was the exact match to Patrick's A806 washer...I sort of brought up the fact that I had to been to quite a few estate sales and passed up quite a few variations of percolators. "Don't you have my number?" Patrick asked. Needless to say the next time I spot any cool coffee percolators I will be hitting speed dial. Luckily Patrick already has a Corning Ware model and she's a beaut!

Vacuums, percolators...what next?
Well, this was the true kicker for me. Years ago (yes, I've been in this club for years now even though I'm still a newbie by most standards I assume) I posted a few photos of another collection I have and only got maybe a response of two. Par for the course these days but I thought "What the heck?", I'll pack a few in the car for this weekend just to see what the folks think.
Turns out this little host of ours has quite a similar interest and thus blossomed some very exciting moments for all of us.

I brought 4 little sprinklers...
one of which Greg's hugging as if he found his long lost best friend from another lifetime. :-)
I had no idea Greg had over 50 sprinklers of his own!!! Way to show me up sister! I'm so glad we share this interest as well as Brun I understand? Looks like we'll need to include these in future get togethers during the summer months. Nice grilling, cold drink on the patio, and the sounds of vintage sprinklers. What could be better?

Kelly,
I can only imagine what was so funny in this photo but maybe it was the satisfaction of time well spent. Every one of us emitted a smile much like Kelly's and for various reasons I'm sure.
It feels good to know that at least someone near where I live now doors will remain open for me and friendships will persist. It's people like the ones in these photos that keep me coming to this club day after day. Greg, the next one is on me and I want all of you guys to be here. Adolf won't take no for an answer. Jon

Patrick! The Hoover looks right at home beside the switchboard. You deserve such a fun toy and I'm glad I could provide it for you. Enjoy "Hoovering" your rugs! Greg | ||
