Marley the Fairy Goddaughter

It’s not often a girl turns 21. Once to be precise! Plans to go to Rocklands Farm Winery were rightly superseded by friends whisking Marley out for a surprise picnic and bar hop, so we settled on alfresco dining with a sunset view over Bethesda and beyond from Blitz’s ritzy rooftop terrace.

Marley is creative and disciplined, drawing within the lines of her field and her life but still the beautiful 6-week-old and fanciful 6-year-old in my mind’s eye.

Her selected menu was decidedly unfanciful: burgers, green beans, corn and key lime pie. That’s my grounded, down-home goddaughter; she keeps things simple yet sprinkles in the magic.
