And is united with all her attachments. Unfortunately, the attachment box got wet this winter, but other than that, she is like brand new. I even have the original shipping box. She was restored in Omaha and I shipped her back last weekend. The bag and cord is back on and she is like brand new. Mike Buffington from San Francisco, Charlie Watrous from Charlotte and Tania from Milwaukee are here for the unveiling!

Mike Buffington and I were hiding in one of the attics of Tarantula Arms. We won't discuss what Fred Nelson hides up there, but there is a back set of stairs for a quick get-a-way for those unfortunate incidents. We had decided to sing "Bosom Buddies" from "Mame". She loves the Lucille Ball/Bea Arthur movie. When we heard Tania and Fred on the other side of the door discussing the 561, Mike said "On the count of four." Fred said Tania looked strange wondering where that strange and awful singing was coming from. (Although Tania thought it was wonderful.) Then Fred opened the door and we shouted, "Surprise!" This was really her birthday surprise even thought her birthday was 9/4 I've tried to surprise her many times and have successfully in the past. It's getting harder all the time! But, I pulled off another one as she thought I was in Arizona. |

The Kirby is just beautiful all dressed up now - and I thought she was a looker when prancing around my house naked last weekend Looks like you guys are having a great time - hope you had a very happy birthday, Tania (I once got a set of press-on nails for my birthday too but they were too small and I couldn't get them to stay on for more than an hour or so - maybe it was all those eyes I kept scratching out ;- |
