Happy Birthday to Me

Today, Bill and I took a boat ride on the Potomac to Mt. Vernon. We got to step inside and tour George Washington's mansion. It was beautiful! We were told that he would welcome all visitors and allow them to stay the night if they were clean and sober. Back in those days, I probably would have passed by many times. We had lunch at the Mt. Vernon Inn. It felt so good to get out of the heat and relax with a nice lunch.
I had Rosemary Chicken with Peanut Stuffing. Bill had Fried Chicken. Both were yummy.

For dessert, we shared a bread pudding. It was so good and didn't last long.



I was inside a gift shop keeping cool when Bill asked me to come out and see the gardens. Reluctanly I went out. I am so glad that I did, because there were so many beautiful butterflies. I had so much fun taking pictures that I soon forgot about the heat.






Yesterday was a fun but sad day for me. I left my very favorite camera, the one that I got for my birthday last year and have had so much fun learning on, on the Metro Rail. The train was pulling away when I noticed that I didn't have it. Tears started running down my face when I was told that there was nothing that I could do but fill out a report. I am hoping and praying that a good citizen turned it in. Fortunately, I have my small camera in my purse so that I can still take pictures.
