ME AND …
I typed the two words in the title of this blog and my computer instantly supplied meander as a possible completion. That made me smile for two reasons. First of all, “ME AND” with the addition of an ellipsis, was all I intended for the title. Secondly, meander is such a lovely, old fashioned word. It’s most often used to describe a a person walking in a manner that is not quick or direct. I was delighted by how appropriate the word meander was for my new blog.
Once a week, I intend to meander, metaphorically speaking, through my memories of historical, cultural, and personal life experiences and write some of them down here.
Just in case all this slow, aimless wandering around in my head sounds terribly boring, the title of my next blog will be “ME AND… the day I found myself in the sights of six high powered rifles held by men in the Secret Service.”
See you next Friday,
Six high powered rifles and Secret Servicemen? OMG, Jean what have you done now?

HI Jean – great start! Your top picture is very similar to Gail and my view from our fifth floor condo here in Costa Rica. The white sand beach is Playa Blanco which we walk (almost) every morning at 7. The extension of land perpendicular to the beach is called Punta Leona (Lion Point) so named because the trees have golden blossoms in February which resembled a lion’s mane to the early explorers. So where is the scene really? [Yes, the email is my main one.][I have no Facebook page.]

Jean I have asked to follow. I will pass on your blog sight to all the 1961 classmates I have emails for and my husbands 1959 class as well. I hope this gets you many followers. Also, Bob Jenkins a 1954 Railsplitter puts out a newsletter twice a year, I will see if he will post something about it in the next newsletter. It reaches many graduation years. Do I tell them to go to “meand2016” ?
