Thanks Chuck and Rich

It was such a great time. Thanks for everything. It was truly a lot of fun. Great conversation, nice to meet some members finally. Sooo much to see in their house. Oh my. These 2 guys are never moving out of this house. LOL. I have been going non stop since I saw you guys last. I tried to download the pics I took Sunday but had a power glitch. This is the 1st time I have been online since. Will have some time tomorrow afternoon and will post the pics I took. Again, Thanks for the most excellent time with the most excellent people.

Rich and Rob checking out a very old and rare toaster.

Rich with the 1st I believe electric heating pad.

The sunbeam mixer on the middle shelf with more attachments than I have ever seen in my life! Yes that is a butter churn attachment next to it.

Rich, Louis and Rob drooling over some coveted toasters. Check out the top shelf with original toaster boxes. Not to mention all the conrning ware perks along with that great lit up clock.

The main dining room on the main level. You just cannot believe the detail in this house. All done by his grandfather by hand. Unbelievable. I could spend a year in this house just checking out all the details. Check out the imported marble tile on the floors. Absolutely amazing.

This is in the double living room against one wall. The clock is gorgeous.

The opposite end of the living rooms. I love the columns. There are 4 more defining the 2 rooms.

Looking into the library. Man what a mans room. All dark wood with hand laid parquay flooring. No nails or glue in the floor. Laid by hand with care and patience.

Rich in one of at least 3 rooms of his collection of typewriters. Damn he looks excellent for all he has been through.

Entrance to the back yard from driveway. This pic does not due it justice. The yard is huge. Beautiful pool and landscaping. I had more pics but I guess they got lost during downloading when the power went out.
