http://meredithpond.blogspot.com/2012/02/back-to-baja-and-san-ignacio-lagoon.html
Things are happening for this transplanted New Englander now living in Takoma Park. Read the latest . . . Friday, February 10, 2012. Back to the Baja and San Ignacio Lagoon. What is it about a gray whale that inspires you to reach over the side of the panga (little boat) and pet this friendly ocean mammal on the head? I'm not sure what the attraction is, but I'm heading back to San Ignacio Lagoon again this year to do it again. Thank you for commenting! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wonder what it ...

Things are happening for this transplanted New Englander now living in Takoma Park. Read the latest . . . Friday, August 3, 2012. Beaches Are Us . . . circa 1959. It's the summer of 1959. The beach is our destination almost every weekend. My mother is thirty-one. When she walks down the beach, men stare at her, but nobody whistles because she's swinging an infant in a basket a few inches above the waves. We washed off the sand in the outside showers, found our clothes and flip-flops, and piled back in th...

Pond on Pond: Skatin' Around the Christmas Tree - 1950s Style
http://meredithpond.blogspot.com/2011/12/skatin-around-christmas-tree-1950s.html
Things are happening for this transplanted New Englander now living in Takoma Park. Read the latest . . . Thursday, December 29, 2011. Skatin' Around the Christmas Tree - 1950s Style. The crowning glory of our Christmas tree included special lights on the tree bubbling gold and red inside their 3-inch, liquid filled, glass spires. There's nothing in the 21st century to compare. (Now they are considered too dangerous to use, even if you can find them.). I had the skates, but I wasn't much of a skater....
