Greetings from Marysville

Cahaya invited us to brunch for Mother's Day, which wound up being potluck at her parents' house because I asked if Adam and Haley could join us. So Paul made vegan quiche and monkey bread, Daniel made shakshouka, Cahaya's stepfather made fresh guacamole, Adam brought raspberry kringle wreath, Cahaya made mimosas, there was fresh fruit and iced coffee, and we all walked in the garden and played with many dogs in the big yard (the big brown one is Jake, the chihuahuas are Cisco and Freddy, and there was also a tortoise): 

 

We chatted with my mom and mother-in-law; Daniel gave me a t-shirt with rainbow cats on it, Adam got me a present that he forgot to bring but we'll see him next week after we pick up the blown glass pumpkins currently cooling in the kiln, Haley brought flowers, and Paul got me a mini Barbie dreamhouse with an elevator, a pool, a porch swing, and a kitty with a scratching post. We weren't ravenous for dinner, so we had bagels, then watched the season premiere of Interview with the Vampire, which has a new Claudia who's fine but I want more Lestat.
