Quickie after long lovely day with family and friends, starting with a walk around Washingtonian Lake with Adam and Pepper to see goslings. Cheryl met us at the hotel and we all drove to Beans in the Belfry in Brunswick for brunch, stopped at Point of Rocks so I could take a pic of the historic train station, and went to Dancing Leaf Farm as our first stop on the Sugarloaf Countryside Artisans tour. From there we went to the glassblowing studio Art of Fire to buy gifts, admire their vases, and pet their cats before heading to Breezy Hill Farm, where Pepper was much admired by alpacas and the rest of us enjoyed the donkey, sheep, goats, chickens, bunnies, and big dogs who admired Pepper too much.
We went to Heron's Meadow Tea Farm to buy tea and finished up at Something Earthy Pottery, which has lots of crafts besides pottery plus local-made food. All the artists had snacks, mostly cookies and homemade drinks, so we snacked quite a bit. When we got back to Gaithersburg, we said farewell to Cheryl and went to pick up Grand Fusion for dinner, which we brought to my parents. It was the evening of my 40th high school reunion, which I hadn't thought I could attend because we hadn't expected to be in town, but my friend Linda and her husband came over for dessert and that was enough high school reunion for me (plus we texted Haley's mother all day, whom I've known since we were 6)!
