I'm so sorry that this is late,but I have been pretty busy, but without further ado, on July 24th, My girlfriend and I set off for Jae Devine's home in Witchita, Kansas from Kirkland, Washington in a rented 2017 Chevy Sonic Turbo loaded down with vacuum cleaners. We made it there on the 25th and had a lovely first night and a load of play time with Jae's lovely collection. After dinner, the house tour, and some talk, we went to bed. The next day we were treated to an extensive tour of historic Witchita and paid a visit to the history museum. Later that night, we all pitched in to make a delicious dinner of enchiladas and baked apples. The next day we headed out to Freds Vacuum Hospital to see the barns full of older machines. However. They had sadly thrown all of the hoard away 6 months before. From there, we traveled to Tom's Vacuum Museum in St. James, Missouri. For the short time we were there (we got there 15 minutes before closing), we had a lovely time and got to see some amazing machines and had a great chat with Tom. The next day, we said our good byes to Jar and ventured to see Reggie Riddlen in Denver, Colorado to retrieve some vacuums and look his marvelous collection. Then after a long trip home, we made it safe and sound and look forward to doing it again someday.

I hope while you were in Wichita, Jae took you to see the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. Corbin Education building at WSU shouldn't be missed.

Nifty Nut house, and Spice Merchant are also musts.

We all had a De'Vine time!

We even got to play a little dress up!...LOL......It was nice to have guests, and very kind of Karl and his partner to make the trip up here. It was well worth it.

 

I hope you enjoyed your visit to Jae Place!

Karl, those Stilettos look at least a few sizes too big...
Looks like a fun time was had! That's a beautiful Museum in Wichita.

It was so nice finally meeting you in person Karl. I'm happy that I got to meet your girlfriend as well, she's very pretty. I so wish we would have had more than 18 minutes together, but even though it was the end of the day - you guys got to see some vintage machines and we all had a great conversation.

Hope to see you all in the future at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum.
