Nonna had a great picture in her blog of the San Diego Wild Animal Park of a great bird.  The bird was a West African Crowned Crane.  But there was another one in the picture which didn't look very good.  So she asked me to take the second bird out. I did my Paint Shop Pro…

Ever since I was a little girl it was a dream of mine to go to Disney World. I have an obsession with Disney stuff and I truly admire Walt Disney. I can’t picture what the world would be like without a little bit of magic. I have not been able to visit Disney World yet, but when I took a trip to …

Last week, when I was not doing much work at work, I spent a few hours surfing the web for restaurants to have my birthday dinner.  I used Citysearch Los Angeles to help me find an affordable French restaurant.  Citysearch Los Angeles featured Café Flore through a web video.  Th…

I have been working on a title for logs regarding cities I have lived in or have visited. I have been working off of that premise you find in the airline magazines when ever you fly across the country.
