Meghan and the Dream of Seaglass

After only 15 minutes of searching Meghan displays her arcipluvian haul

Sunday after dinner we hopped down to a beach near town just past the shipyard. The sun had set and evening's light lingered as we scanned the rocky shore for shiny pieces. Meghan, as fastidious as a crab, soon found a variety of smooth glass scraps - several were larger and more colorful than pieces of hard candy. If I had not pestered her to leave the beach it seems she would have combed the waterline well into the the night. After returning home and spreading out her haul, Meghan became concerned that her hunt was so fruitful because we had trespassed - rendering her collection illegal. The next morning Meghan awoke from a dream admonishing her to return the pieces of sea glass to "Benny's Beach" and she became even more skittish about her finds. Luckily, yesterday she learned that the beach does not belong to "Benny" and is public. Meghan is quite happy to add the pieces to her quickly growing menagerie.
