On Friday, Mark, Mom and Lon and I went and did some shopping in lovely downtown Fredericksburg. I enjoy shopping there. The Polish Pottery shop was open this time, I, of course, got a pretty new plate!
Mark wanted a picture in front of the sign for the Acoustic Rooster. This is not a bar, it is a gift store.
We were walking by a pizza place and it just smelled great! So we stopped. 
Lon tried more lemon. He likes it, even though he makes that face! 
Walking off lunch. Mmmm, pizza! 
Grandma made a stop to get a lion to wrap around Lon! This is so his head won't fall forward when he falls asleep. What a nice Grandma she is. Grandma Phis is special! 
We dropped Mark off at home and conducted a secret mission that involves Old Mill Park. Lon was playing in the grass, until I noticed that there were ants, lots of ants. Since Mommy is very sensitive to ant bites, Lon had to play somewhere else. So it was the trunk of the car for just a few more minutes. 
Hmmm, it is big enough to play in, even though the stroller is here. The mission was accomplished, successfully. All will be revealed in a few w
eeks.
A nice passing stranger, with a nice black dog, took our picture for us in front of Kenmore. This is the Betty Washington Lewis House. Betty was George Washington's sister. The house is famous for it's plaster work. The name of the man who did the plaster work is lost. He also worked at Mount Vernon, but in letters from Betty to George, and vis versa, they refer to him as only the Stucco Man. 
This room is finished, except for furniture. The wallpaper is a exact copy of one that was there. It is wool flocked wall paper. They had an article on the restoration of Kenmore in the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star. 
More ceiling medallions. They were in all the rooms that were for entertaining.
