To celebrate Easter and Holy Week as well as my husband’s birthday, I had a mini-meet with a few friends and vacuum collectors to celebrate. Since I actually own a camera as well as a cell phone, I took pictures. Please enjoy. No Hoover hoods were harmed nor turned upside down all weekend.
Adam brought his wonderful Kirby 514.

I know how to bake. No dry cookies or cakes that taste like sawdust. My husband loves a particular chocolate and almond cake from Julia Childs cookbook “mastering the art of French cooking”, which I have.

There is no baking powder used in the cake, just beaten egg whites. It is a moist, delicate, rich, dense chocolate cake. The frosting is made of only butter and chocolate. With a tiny splash of espresso to bring out the chocolate flavor. There’s not one bite left.

Robert brought his model G, and I helped him rebuild the motor. We took it apart down two screws.

Better than any Rainbow, the CleanMAX does the dusting and cleaning before dinner.

Look what was waiting for me at the store. My husband‘s father, my most wonderful father-in-law, found this for me and brought it for our Easter celebration. My collection is now complete.

What a wonderful dinner. Happy Easter everyone. Grilled chicken with a chipotle barbecue sauce, Mexican street corn, Italian pasta salad, delicious coleslaw, homemade yeast rolls (baking is my specialty) along with cake and coffee.

Cassy, you are welcome any time. I know it's hard for you to make the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention in September, I understand that for someone in your field that's the busiest time of the year.
It's always the third weekend in September at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum. Folks from all over the country will be here. Best of all, people don't have to schlep their entire collections to the convention and then drag them home. There are 600 vintage machines here to play with. The theme this year for the cleaning contest is Power Nozzle Canisters. Of any vintage. I know someone who will be entering a Lewyt Electronic. I'm sure Reggie will bring his new Electrolux CA with power nozzle. So many different cleaners and so many different owners. There will be fun and food and comradery but of course there will also be pictures. No hoover hoods will be harmed nor turned upside down the entire weekend. Best of all, NO pesky 'dues' and 'fees' to attend. I'm not sending money to people I don't know just to go to a party!
