Redwood City Street of Lights
December 17, 2011
If you want an enjoyable drive through Redwood City, please see Topaz Street. I also found Dewey Street to be great. Maybe, it is just because the street uses all the homes nationalities for their decorations. Very fun!
Come and see 411 Topax, that really surprises us with their tremendous display. We all appreciate all the Christmas Spirit!

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.
