Multitasking is a desirable skill. To be able to multitask with joy.....is a gift. Jean Blake transported stuff and family wherever the Navy sent them. During those Navy years, the "stuff" increased as did their family. Changing a house into a home all over the planet took grit and determination.... and joy. Of course, there were benefits of sailing in Florida, skiing in France and trail riding in Colorado. Jean spoke French fluently, reasonably good German and passable Dutch. To keep life exciting there were mysteries and all kinds of problems with three active boys and a traveling husband. Jean solved the mysteries and tried to resolve the problems. She enjoyed her successes and learned to accept the failures. They were her team.
