Dropbox is a great little file-syncing / sharing app.  Small files or big files . . . No logging in, no using YouSendit or the like, just simple and straight forward.

Dropbox provides a slick way to upload and store photos, video and any size files – in the cloud. You can take photos then easily move them from smartphones, iPads, tablets, cameras or SD cards to Dropbox using Wi-Fi or your cellular data plans. Dropbox uploads the photos and videos in their original size and full resolution where you direct them. Access your stuff from anywhere.  

We Love Dropbox . . . and You Will Too! 

All you have to do is sign up for a FREE Dropbox account by clicking here . . . and I get some free extra Dropbox space.

Did I mention it was FREE?         

By the way, there is no credit card information needed to sign up.

What the heck are you waiting for?

One of my favorite books when I was younger was the engaging and slightly bizarre book “A Wrinkle in Time”. So, imagine how thrilled I was when I found out that the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center would be showing an adaptation of that very story! Running from May 5^th – May 20^th, tickets are only $16 for adults and $14 for seniors and youths. Find out more information here: http://www.vgculturalcenter.com/events/view.php?eventid=0000001389.

Hope to see you there! J

RANCHO CUCAMONGA COMMUNITY YARD SALE

ESPECIALLY one that involves the whole community - talk about a good place for a treasure hunt! April 14th from 8am – 2pm  Rancho Cucamonga is hosting a community yard sale and everyone’s invited. Not only do I love shopping yard sales (hey – I’ve seen Antiques Roadshow and how much money some seemingly worthless items can end up being appraised for), but I know I sure have a few overstuffed closets that could do with some spring cleaning.

I suspect my husband has a few things in the garage he’d be willing to part with. You never know what you might find! Get more information about the Rancho Cucamonga Community Yard Sale here: http://www.cityofrc.us/cityhall/cs/events.asp

“Humor Is Reason Gone Mad”

As said by the inimitable Groucho Marx and who’d argue with a master of comedy? Unfortunately, we’re not able to enjoy the humor of Mr. Marx first hand anymore, but the Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga has the next best thing: Frank Ferrante! On Saturday, March 31^st, you can experience “Frank Ferrante in An Evening with Groucho Marx”. This two-act show starts at 7:30pm and is chocked-full of music, comedy, and the ad-libbing that made Groucho Marx so famous. There will be only one showing, so don’t miss out! Find out more information and purchase your tickets for this Lewis Family Playhouse event by clicking here: http://www.lewisfamilyplayhouse.com/events/view.php?eventid=0000001382.

The Lewis Family Playhouse: Broadway at the Gardens  presents “A Chorus Line”, one of the best-loved musicals of all time.

You can find out more here: http://www.lewisfamilyplayhouse.com/events/view.php?eventid=0000001380.

One of the reasons I love Rancho Cucamonga so much is that it is very pet-friendly, reflecting the laid-back and warm personality of the residents. Saturday, March 31^st, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm Rancho Cucamonga will be hosting the Free Pet Expo, which will be a fun and exciting event for the whole family. There will be pet training tips and demonstrations, a reptile exhibit, face painting, crafts, free snacks, giveaways and much more!
