How many does it take to have a Wash-In?

[moparwash]

I have the answer! A visit to Mike M (electroniccontrl's) amazing collection and it's on! Just add laundry and watch go!..thanks to Mike for a great afternoon, including a tour of the Meyer May Frank Lloyd Wright house a few blocks away in historic Grand Rapids.

The 'Find of Finds!'

The 1959 General Foods Kitchens Cookbook! 436 pages of how and what to cook for every meal and social situation! Look at those fabulous pictures!

Wow! Look at the size of those meatballs!

Great pictures!

Thanks for sharing!
That Philco is beautiful. Too bad it doesn't work.

Great cookbook.
I'm a little ashamed to say, all I knew of General Foods was International Coffees.

It is so FUN to Wash!

And it is fun having someone to wash with! Thank you Jerry for posting those beautiful pics!
And thank you Jerry and Tom for sharing your cabin at the Dunes Resort. The MML weekend was a great time.

fantastic....wish I was there.....

those agitators looks familiar...

but true, it doesn't take a lot to have a great day of washing entertainment.....from one guest, to a whole crowd, fun can be had, every time!

My great aunt had that refrigerator in her home in Walnut Creek, CA...remember seeing it when we visited in 1973. The door-in-door design intrigued me at the time.

Was just in Saugatuck last week

And was at the same antique mall looking at exactly the same things - down to the Philco instruction manual.
I did come home with a Philco radio for $10. Parts piece.
Lots of fun. Didn't stay at the Dunes though. Cabin looks nice.

Love the Dunes... haven't been now in a couple of years.. That restaurant across the street, the Calico something iirc.. was featured on Bar Rescue once... super gross kitchen..

Philco Fridge

I have one very similar to that one! Mine does work, but is missing some of the shelves, and is not in as nice a condition.

I have that same fridge

For sale, working, and in better condition than that one. I’d like to have that manual!

Yes, those Dunes are the Such Fun!!!!

Long ago, my sister, niece, nephew & late-Mom while she was able to be World's Greatest Grandmother, went to the dunes in Saugatuck, among some of the other great attractions, there...

Riding up, down, and all around in those customized '70's Dodge trucks---oh, where was I, those decades ago?!

Definitely a "bucket list" for me, among others, I hope I can get to see, do & have that $$$$ for (well, even if I were to start vintage appliance collecting, and continue being the hard copy media junkie, I am, maybe?)...

Calico Kitchen

I LOVED the Calico Kitchen!
What was especially fun was the crazy diversity of the crowd having breakfast on a Sunday morning - mostly boys closing up their weekend of fun at the Dunes across the street.

It is now a Thai / Sushi restaurant or similar.
