Last Tuesday I went to Mount Vernon with my stitching guild. I had a blast and wish we could've stayed longer. I had to get back to get the kiddies you see, and we were scheduled to leave to come back by 2:00 anyway. I drove my car and had the privilege of taking a couple of older women along with me, because they needed a ride. A lot older. Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't hold my cell phone hostage until we got there. They made it pretty clear when they hopped in that they hoped I wasn't one of those "insane young ladies" who likes to talk on her cell phone or text while I'm driving. I had the phone beside
me in the car and could practically feel the lasers from their eyes shooting through me every time it beeped to tell me I had a text message or rang lol. We toured the mansion, and I thought it was magnificent. I was especially excited to hear that 40% of what is in the house is original. I really wanted to sit in George Washington's chair and roll around the original floors in it. I wouldn't have minded having a couple of those pictures hanging on his walls either. I wanted to take pics of the inside, but no photos allowed :(. Bummer. I hope to go back soon with Mike and the kids.

Martha is on the left, and George is on the right.
