For today’s Challenge Post on M, how about capitalizing on the title of my regular blog: Musings With Marianne?

I chose that title for my blog so I could write about many things: the things I think about, wonder about, know about, want to know about….Muse about. Musing helps me understand things better sometimes, kind of like explaining to myself.

I started Musings just under a year ago, just before heading to France and England to attend the big celebrations of the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Normandy that led to the end of World War II.

I mused on 21st Century travel, from extra vigilant airport security measures, crammed airplane seating, and forking over more money to board before the herd, to the first world problem of packing all the charging devices required to keep all the electronics working. Gotta be plugged in!

I mused on the crowds of people, old and young, celebrating the liberation of Europe from the Nazi terror. All ages, nationalities, sizes, shapes and voices…..one celebration.

I mused about my one and only grandson, a smart, funny young man of many talents who never ceases to amaze, amuse, and instruct me.

I posted Random Musings, collections of thoughts or ideas that popped up here and there; I related stories about my dad’s and my great-uncle’s military experiences in both World Wars; I introduced my family and friends to the Blog World; I lamented my various shortcomings and laughed about them at the same time.

I hope you will check back in my Archives and see some of these posts. I would like to know what you think!

I am now a thoroughly hooked Blogger. A cyber-diarist. I welcome people all over the world to peer into my world. Amazing! Hello, Singapore, Russia, Phillipines, Belgium, Scotland, Ghana! Argentina, Mexico, Canada! Australia! China! Japan! All 50 United States! Great to meet you!

My next regular Musings  post will continue the story of my experiences as a movie extra: So You Want To Be In Movies, Part 4. Maybe I’ll see you on the set! It’s just getting good…….
