I am sharing with the following memes, with my thanks to Theresa, Eileen and Misty for hosting.  If you wanted to visit other participants or to join in, you can click on the name of each meme.

THE DOLL HOUSE AT MOUNT VERNON

Hello Everyone, I have been off the internet for a few days - my cable went out - but am back now and will be catching up with all your comments.  Thank you so much for leaving them.  

One of the items I have always enjoyed on display in the visitor center, is the doll house replica of Mount Vernon.

The roof is mechanized and when it is lifted you can get a better view of the miniature furnishings.  The roof lowered in place as I was looking at it, and this is the first time I had ever been aware that the roof could be raised and lowered.  An impressive doll house and what I would have given for something like this as a child. 

There were only two of us looking at the doll house.  The other onlooker was a young girl around  ten years’ old.  Her father and brothers looked at it briefly and moved on.  However, the young girl and I were mesmerized.  She pointed out one of the tiny bowls on a table.  I smiled and asked her if she had a doll house at home.  She answered yes.  I told her how wonderful, that I didn’t when I was her age but have always liked them, and was happy she had one.  We chatted for a few minutes while we were looking.  I could have honestly continued but I was called away by ‘the boys’ (aka hubby and brother-in-law who wanted to continue the tour).  

It appears I am still in touch with my inner child.
