Wow! Looks like all attending the wash-in had a super time. Wish I could have been there to meet everyone, and see all the machines. Hope I can go to one sometime in the near future.

Yay! The pout is out!
That wringer is so COOL! Even though Robert had so many machines to play... Eerrrmmm... Investigate with, I would have spent a fair amount of time with the wringer. Now I REALLY want one!
Thanks again for all the pictures, Kevin. It really helps offset the disappointnent of not being able to attend this time. By golly, if it happens next year, I'm gonna find a way!

btw... Your first picture of you both in the car is really giving me a Blues Brothers flashback! LOL!

Robert & Freds' Wash-In
Simply (or maybe not so simply) MARVELOUS!!!!!
It was like becoming mesmerized viewing all the FANTASTIC pics, and there towards the end; I thought I must be dreaming!
What GREAT editing Kevin!! While the captions & Pics are OVER the TOP, I know they can't be compared to being THERE!
And what GRACIOUS hosts Fred & Robert are. Those "Suzy Homemakers" took be back a ways too!
BTW, those Suzy Homemakers looked like they were sitting on top of a LADY KENMORE! Where was that in the mix??? Haven't seen it in any other pic before!? AWWWWW, couldn't you have put that in the back of the Chevrolet that you saw the USA in as a CONSOLATION PRIZE for me not being there? (ducks & runs)...
You really had me believing that you DID drive there for a Moment; such a tease! And if you did, was it equiped with On Star to help you navigate??? (REALLY DUCKING & RUNNING)LoL

Miraculous
These machines are the ones I dreamed over in department stores and catalogs as a child, We had no money, no running water and no hope of ever owning something so incredible. To go back to a time when I saw each of these machines for the first time and then reflect on the present is a journey of escape, success and fulfillment. Robert, Greg, Drew, Kevin, Jetcone, Lighted Controls, Gyrafoam and so many others who restore, display and operate their collections for all of us to share may never know how deeply touched I am with the enormity of overcoming limitations and finding a sense of belonging. Fun?, of course, Amazing? without a doubt? Memorial Wall? it is being able to revisit the past, respect the sacrifices and exalt in the victory. Thank you to those who choose to spend time, money, expertise and gifts with us all. It is so much more than a sudscake.

Not anymore...
I like to sleep with a fan running, so naturally, the Dyson is now the one that sits in the corner and *ahem* blows all night.
Anyways, I woke up this morning, got ready for work, and went back to kiss Robert goodbye before I headed to the salt mines -- I asked him "should I leave the Dyson running?"
His somewhat unconscious reply was "yes."
Woo hoo!

hmmmph fan schman, now after 16 years living here I'm a full fledged Minnesotan (just don't ask me to say the word drawer) the reason might have something to do with this...
