Well, for Mother's Day, Lily told me that she wished that my mother was her mother, that way we could be sisters. I think that was a compliment. Joaquin gave me a card that touted my many virtues. He thinks I am funny and he likes it when I play with him and when I take him places.

We had a good day. We had brunch at the Hawthorne Street Cafe and then wandered up and down the street and browsed in the stores. Lily really enjoyed kneeling at the altar in the Goddess Gallery, while I perused the various packages of "spells" they have for sale. They have one that will turn an enemy to a friend (but you can't do it the 3rd day after a full moon) and even one that will help you get a job. Joaquin preferred playing the gong, the thumb piano and the pan flute he found at Gifts from Afar. And Joseph wandered along smoking a cigar and got absorbed in a biography of Che Guevara.

It was a beautiful day to be out and about in the sunshine with my loved ones.
