Oh Maggie. Top picture: unrestrained, uncensored joy and happiness. Bottom picture: watching and waiting to see what important thing there is to learn.
She’s all dressed up in the bottom picture because we went to a party. Our church here is turning 150, so we went to the birthday party. We thought there was a cake contest, so I baked Julia Child’s Queen of Sheba cake, and Maggie and I dressed in chocolate browns for the cake parade. There was a cake parade, but no contest. But I still think we would have won at least most coordinated. I think Maggie looks like she’s stepped out of the Sound of Music in her little apron dress. She was the most popular party goer and was suuuuch a trooper, staying out an hour after bedtime and eating grown-up food and listening to singing and talking and generally showing off how precious she is.
Yesterday we had a sort of dress rehearsal for our trip out west. We got in the car around 10, drove for an hour to Salem, got out and did stuff for a while, then back into the car to drive during her nap time. She did great. Gave us hope. And entertained Salemites with her oft-repeated Ring Around the Rosie antics. Hmm. Maybe we can charge admission and get a gas fund going.

Laugh out loud over so many things
Thanks for bringing smiles to all your fans
And that smile – pure Maggie
Need a picture of Mom in her “do”
Perfect , as always. love the notes that you send, and the chance to see our Miss Maggie. I do not doubt that she was the hitof the party. It is good to take her out into the world, she must just be filling her brain all day everyday. What a kid !!
Love, the Greats Bill and Margie
