Maybe I'm not that crazy after all thinking C wanted me to follow him inside the small shed, or when my friend was looking down the hill for hot firemen and I happened to look to see if any were coming up (for her sake) that C would appear at the doorway to look down too. Could it be that he wants me as his but just can't say it? Sure seems that ( Read more... )

Phew what a day it's been. The weather was great nice and sunny and warmer temperatures. Can't wait till it gets warmer, bring on the spring weather. I talked with C this morning for a little bit. My friend was nearby talking to the guard at the gate near the parking lot. I was asking C how his weekend was and learned he was there on Saturday ( Read more... )

I could so hit myself for not going over to talk to C this morning. My friend shooed me out of the car and said go talk to him. But with all the butteflies and trash trucks entering the estate I walked on thinking I can't do this now. I was nervous for whatever reason and a friend going your how old? Yeah nevermind that I've got my bashful ( Read more... )

You never do know whose going to walk through the gates at Mount Vernon, and just today I found out one of those never knows. Turns out for the filming done at the beginning of the week (if I heard this right) one of the actors they had was in Cold Mountain. I've never seen the movie but I went off to try and find a picture of the guy and came up ( Read more... )

Well Mount Vernon had it's filming adventures on Monday and I had mine today. Thought I had a time saver, but turns out I ended up way out of my way or so it seemed. I'd left to go shopping this morning, making good time. Found some things at Best Buy, something at Borders and some clothing at Gap & Victoria's Secret. Took me about an hour to ( Read more... )

Started off my morning by helping with a special wreath laying at the tomb for a group that does them anually. I went down there early, set up and stayed in the shack keeping warm by the small heater. The warmth felt quite nice for a while, until I had to move as the director of the estate was on his way down for the ceremony. He paced around ( Read more... )

There never is a dull moment at MV, always one to throw a curve ball at times. Colonial Days kicked off yesterday and we had 800 kids today. The doors were opened and they flowed through. But on the outside due to an up and coming event we couldn't use the ramps on the collanades. Makes things a little interesting for sure. Once the kids left ( Read more... )

Mount Vernon was one busy place today; being that it was free to get in today and the weather was nice and sunny. I watched the flood gates of people walking through the gate at nine this morning, preparing myself for a long day of talking. The line quickly grew quite long and stayed that way for most all of the day, up until 4:30ish. Those ( Read more... )

On the circle this afternoon I was outside of the doors when a woman comes up with a little dog. I didn't see the dog at first, but once I did, I went straight over to where it was. The security guard on the circle walked over too, as I bent down to pet the little puppy. She was a four/five month old boston terrier (had one of those growing up ( Read more... )
