This picture of the Grand Canyon National Park was taken on December 29th, 2009. It was snowing so hard that Christmas that the roads were almost impassable for two days. Hope you … (3 comments)

"The Great Train Robbery" took place in England. A gang of 15 train robbers stole 2.6 million pounds in bank notes.
If you watch the movie you can see what the producers and directors think took place to plan and execute the robbery. One of the robbers that was captured was Charlie Wilson. I found an interesting tidbit on Wikipedia about him: On 12 August 1964, Charlie Wilson escaped from Winson Green Prison in Birmingham in under 3 minutes, with the escape being unprecedented … (2 comments)

Happy 100th Birthday Lucille Ball!! For those of you over 40 years old, you probably know who Lucille Ball is, as the star of "I Love Lucy". The "I Love Lucy" show ran so long that many people associate Lucille Ball only with that show and not her early movie rolls. She was a true cinema beauty in those early movie rolls. Sometimes you can catch one of those early movies with Lucy in them on Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Her acting in those movies is really wonderful. CNN has a great article about her, along with pictures, click here to view it. … (4 comments)

Mandolin Gardens is located off of Grant Road in between Perry and Jones Road.
This greenbelt is now a super water park that is enjoyable to hike on, sit and watch sunsets on or picnic on.
The designers really did a great job with the landscaping. I think these are purple verbenas (or a close cousin).
I happen to think the HUGE gazing ball is a neat addition. It is on a little island in the middle of the newer section. You have … (1 comments)
