Chosen Spot Design
In 2005 I graduated from Finger Lakes Community Colege with a dual degree in Information Technology and Business Administration and promptly started a Web Site business I named Chosen Spot Design. Hassle free web design is what I try my best to provide for my clients. There are so may folks running small businesses who need a helping hand getting a website started. Not everyone needs an Amazon or E-Bay kind of website and I try my best to help the non-technical and technical folks put together a "Business Card" website for people to find on the web.
The Manic School Bus
Just call me Miss Frazzled, cause just like all the other school bus drivers, I drive a manic school bus. Yes I do get up a 5am to drive bus, since April of 1990. The first day I walked in the door three of my own bus drivers where sitting in the lounge. One still drives and just celebrated his 40th year of driving. There's more to it than meets the eye. I guarantee it will be the worst job you'll ever love.

My Trip to Ireland
In 2006 I got the chance of a lifetime to go to Ireland for eleven days. I went with my mother, two aunts, two uncles and a sister. We stayed in Killarney at Self-Catering Apartments called Killarney Haven for seven days. We also stayed at the Mistic Rose a colorful little Bed & Breakfast in Killarney when we first arrived. Check out the vacation blog and picture gallery from the trip.
MamaLoca on YouTube
My latest distraction is making videos and slideshows and posting them on YouTube. Quite a few up ranging from my brother's art and music to my son's band, My father's models and diarama's to slideshows and video's from my trip to Ireland, a cousin's tractor pull videos to a trip to Alaska on a renovated school bus my sister and other family members made in 1999. There's something for everyone.

Family Pictures
As you are about to find out (if you follow this link) I have a passion for photos, old photos, preferably those of family members, my family members. I hope that other members of my family (the ones that are still with us) come across these photos and find them at least half as interesting as I do. Why should I be the only one who knows my cousin looks remarkably like my Great Grandfather And just what ship my GGGGGGGreat Grandparents came to America on.
