On Monday I spent the evening in the home of our very own John Long (Gottahaveahoove). As always, the hospitality was worthy of Jackie Kennedy herself, the meal was sumptuous, and the conversations and cleaners were as always, fabulous.
Now for the photos! This thread is going to be a long one. Many photos were taken.
We start with the dinner, of course.
The appetizer course consisted of fresh fruit (peaches, watermelon, bananas) with a homemade glaze. As usual, there were pitchers of Pittston Hospital Iced Tea consumed! |

California. You WILL find: a Westinghouse, electrolux gold floor polisher/shampooer, 3 Kirbys, 2 Orecks, a FliterQueen, a Premier hand vac as well as a Royal Prince. These "cellar dwellers" are going, along w/ several HOOVERS that are not part of "the collection".
As far as the "bodies"...... can't guarantee that they are all really gone. Hmmmmmmmmmmm |

For past the vaulted door to Basement #4, Deep below the House of many Hoovers, Lays John's Top-Secret collection of KIRBYS. Every last model, All polished out to a shine! If you sneak up to his house some nights, You'll see him polishing out the Kitchen floors with the 562, Or Shampooing the sitting room with the Dual-Sanitronic 80 (Boy, Doesn't that DS-80 remind you of the 1070, Hmmm, John?)

You'll NEVER run fast enough, lol.
They remind me of SOMETHING, but NOT a 1070. I always liked the 1070, now, I have 5. I won't be keeping them all, however. More cellar dwellers are being readied for sale. I also have to send a few hoods out to people, as well. It's nice to purge things, isn't it? It's also great to see things go to people who really need/want/like them. I'm thrilled that Rick got that Electrolux 30...J? I'm not sure. I know there is a power nozzle ready to go as well. Making room, clearing out, gifting, it's all good. |

And Don't worry, I could never stay away from HOOVER. If it makes you feel any better, I had a Kirby fail on me the other night! I shampooed the ENTIRE living room, And then noticed the Heritage's belt on the Shampooer had slipped off, And hadn't scrubbed a thing (No wonder why no dirt was coming up!) A full tank of $10 Shampoo Wasted!
I hear a Decade 800 Calling...Alex,Alex please, Save me from this nasty old place! |
