What a great memory. It’s sweet to have a magical being that’s known—not like a unicorn or something rarely seen (a moose, a fawn). You can wonder every day if THAT one is the Magic Seagull! 😊

What beautiful memories. I want to know more. I always want more, that’s the sign of a great writer.

Thank you! I wish I could remember what was in the tissue-wrapped packages…the memory of the moment is the gift I suppose!
