Got to visit George Washington‘s Mount Vernon last weekend (scaffolding is for repairs to the back of the house). We were there 5 hours and still didn‘t get to see everything! And had to rush through the shop so didn‘t have time to browse their book selection as I normally would. But did grab an autographed copy of the tagged book which is a DAR book club selection. About GW and his first cabinet.
@mrsmarch have you read it yet?

BkClubCare Is that where they carved the siding to look like stone? Weird what I am reminded of. 2y

ValerieAndBooks @BkClubCare Yes!! And mixed sand in the paint to make it look even more stone-like. 2y
ValerieAndBooks @mrsmarch so many books, so little time, right?! 2y
