Best Haunted House
October 30, 2011
Check out this line from Youtube for this Halloween House. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUAV_1jBJB4
This is an amazing, dazzling light show that will boggle your mind. Similar to what you would see at Christmas, this guy in Riverside, CA used thousands of lights to create four singing pumpkin faces, light-up tombstones, light-up hand-carved pumpkins and strobe lights in the project. All of these were programmed to complement each song. Kevin J., the 39-year-old mastermind behind this extravaganza said it took 15 hours of work for each minute of music. This is his fourth year of doing Halloween shows; this one being his project for last year.
My neighbors Keith and MaryJo Hoffman used to do this as well. However, our neighborhood will miss the light show since they moved down to So. Cal….

History of Chamber Haunted House
October 26, 2011
In San Francisco this prime piece of San Francisco real estate was built by silver mine tycoon Richard Chambers. The story goes that Richard moved into the home with his two nieces, bringing with him a host of demons and ghosts with him. When Chambers died in 1901, the nieces inherited the home; one moved next door and one, Claudia, stayed in the home.
Claudia was discovered nearly cut in half one day. The family passed it off as a “farm implementation accident” but ghost expert Jim Fassbinder, who conducts haunted house tours in San Francisco, claims an insane family member who was kept in the attic of the Chambers home was the culprit. Recently a bed-and-breakfast, the home sold in 2009 for $3,400,800.

I am sorry to see that Geoffrey’s is leaving us in San Carlos. Geoffrey’s has been in the jewelry business with diamonds and also a goldsmith. More info. is at geoffreysdiamonds.com
They are offering a special invitation for clients and those that received their mailing from oct. 19 – 22nd. After that time, they will be opened to the public. I had gone there several years ago when I was going through some of my Mom’s jewelry and had no idea of what was real or not. They went through the whole batch for me and explained what each one was, so I could had it down to more family members that were interested.
Geoffrey’s is having a 60% off sale. They have been in business for the last 28 years serving us with their jewelry and fabulous events that they had. Geoffrey and Sherry will be sadly missed.
We will be sad to see them leave.
Wishing you good health and blessings, Geoffrey and Sherry, thanks for sharing yourselves with us.

Oktoberfest in Redwood City yesterday.
October 16, 2011
Yesterday at the Redwood City “Oktoberfest” was a complete blast. The one thing that was especially fun was watching all the children dance the day away. Boy, if I could bottle up the constant energy. It was so much fun. I meet some friends there and I ended up spending most of the day just dancing and watching all the people. This was a great event for Redwood City. The band was stupendous! 
The band was the Internationals, they have played for more than 30 years. They played all national music. The dancers from the Bavarian Club were outstanding.
For more information on the band visit the Internationals website.
