Please welcome today’s guest, Jeanne Owens, the first brave soul to share ten things about herself that you might not already know. Jeanne, I commend you for emailing me right away, and I’m happy to share your list with everyone.
Ten Things You May Not Know About Me
by Jeanne Owens
1. I was born and raised in Virginia, and still live there.
2. My first time flying was when I went to Ireland in 2004 as part of a study abroad trip with a group from a local community college. I’d love to go back again someday.
3. I am interested in the paranormal, and have had a couple of odd experiences but I’m not sure if they were really paranormal or not.
4. I’m an amature photographer and love taking photos of nature and the moon.
5. I’m a bit of a geek, enjoying among other things: Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, anime, etc.
6. I dabble in reading tarot cards and have at least a dozen different decks.
7. I wrote my first “book” in high school. It was a Fantasy inspired by a Terry Brooks book. I’d written a little before then, but I think this was my first more serious attempt.
8. I am short of stature, coming in at mere 5’0” tall.
9. My mother named me after Joan of Arc (Jeanne d’Arc).
10. My taste in music is rather eclectic. For example, I like Classical, Big Band, “Oldies”,
Country, Rock, Metal, Jazz, J-Pop and J-Rock.

Thanks so much for being the first guest on the Ten Things feature, Jeanne. Sorry I’m late to comment, but I have a ginormous CRANE parked in my side yard and a crew of burly men removing some dead trees ahead of the next hurricane. I’ve been watching. The crane, not the burly men. (Yeah, right. I’m OLD, not DEAD!! 😂 ) Seriously, it’s a bit disruptive to my day’s work, but I’ll get caught up with comments later.
In the meantime, it’s a pleasure to have you kicking off this new feature with your very entertaining list. I’m happy to see that lots of folks are taking a look. 🤗

What a nice way to begin the series, Marcia.
Jeanne has set the bar high for us all.
Jeanne, we share the same name – my middle name is Jeanne, and I was named after my aunt Dorothy Jeanne. You can go to Ireland again whenever you decide it is a priority – plan the trip and set a date and work towards making your dream a reality. It could be a writing and research trip for you for a future project. lol Make it happen.
