Saving this one for when they forget how much they love each other:)

After a long work week and three days in Cincinnati for my Smithsonian Board meeting (thank you, Frank, Lola, and Tito!), Meryl and I decided we needed hot chocolate and bakery treats to kick off the drizzly weekend.

They woke up early (for them)! And Frank outdid himself with Shakshouka and homemade breakfast sausage:)

Laurel knows how to galvanize a crowd, bring tri-levels! Meryl’s first taste…and she went back for more, and more, and who knows how many more:)

Classic Mallory picture of her youth, recreated with Meryl twenty years later!

Eek! He’s growing up!

Holmes got to join Baylie today at a round table discussion with the Attorney General of Washington, Bob Ferguson, about domestic workers rights! In Baylie’s free time, she has worked hard to pass a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, representing the nanny community of Seattle. And today, the discussion also extended to talk of a state and federal law - Go Baylie!

Seattle is the first city in the United States to have a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. In July last year, the City passed a Domestic Workers Ordinance, which gives minimum wage, rest break, and meal break rights to domestic workers, in addition to creating a Domestic Workers Standards Board. And in September last year, the City also added civil rights for domestic workers to Seattle’s existing Fair Employment Practices law.

Welp, I hit Margy’s curb, popped a tire…and, conveniently parked so close to the sidewalk we needed LD’s garage of handy accessories to install the spare. Neighborhood affair on either side of the house! (And by “we,” the effort was all Frank. Meryl and I worked hard to pick-up doughnuts in thanks.)

Lots of fun with Tito today!
