Lunch Date with Morinda

Wendy and I had the pleasure of joining Morinda for lunch last week. Time spent with this woman is always renewing, refreshing and revitalizing. She is just a breath of fresh air and the boost of raw, down to earth goodness that you are always in need of. It was honestly such a joy to be in her company. Wendy loved Morinda and her cute bulldog and sweet cat. Her obsession with animals was fulfilled during this visit, for sure. Morinda was the sweetest playmate to her and we just couldn't have had any more fun! 

An amazing spread of homemade potstickers, fresh mixed greens, Greek yogurt with berries and a lemon-ginger water. It was so good. 

Wendy loved Margot, although she was a little hesitant to get too close since she was about half her size. 

Wendy loved the cat and did so well petting it softly. She would get really close and wave "hi". The cat stayed under the table while we finished eating and Wendy would very frequently demand our attention so she could excitedly point out that the cat was still there. 

Morinda introduced Wendy to a set of Matryoshka dolls and named them various Russian titles like Natasha, Natalia, Sasha, etc. 

 

It was just the best lunch date ever. It made our day so, so great and I left (as usual upon departing the Cottams) with a renewed love for the simple pleasures of my imperfect yet beautiful life.
