Turning 50 - Maggie's Gift

Maggie gave me a birthday present Friday night, her flower girl basket from Grampa Honey's (Gregg's) wedding filled with sea urchins, crab legs, cotton grass, beans, stones and shells she collected throughout her four-week adventure with her parents in Newfoundland. Then on Saturday morning, while I fitted her mom's and sister's dresses, Maggie pulled the items out of the basket and carefully arranged and re-arranged each treasure until she reached a Maggie masterpiece, all placed carefully on her favorite place in my apartment -- the window ledge behind the radiator where she likes to sit. She also gave me the Teddy bear.
