Throwback Thursday-Family Pictures During the War         I was going through some of my mom's hundreds of pictures as she scrapbooked my dad's entire career in Army Air Corp which was later renamed the US Air Force.   Here is a picture of my dad at Stillwater, Missouri where he went to pilot school January 1944. After graduating he went to Navigator School for additional training at Hondo, Texas.   This B-24 Liberator airplane was assigned to the base at Hondo Army Airfield in Texas which was a Army Air Corp Training Base for Navigators. My dad trained here in the spring of 1944 until he graduated and was transferred to the Philippines in October 1944.  The second picture is of my mom and dad at Hondo, Texas. The third photo was my dad's baby sister and she had come to visit from Knoxv...

Victoria Grove - Riverside CA - Real Estate Activity   If you are interested in current real estate activity in Victoria Grove Riverside CA, read on.  This information is as of October 22, 2014. Victoria Grove is a beautiful gated community in the Southwest part of Riverside California - near Lake Mathews.  It is about about three miles south of the 91 freeway just off La Sierra Ave.  It is a very nice community with wonderful residents, terrific houses and great community amenities - and it is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Riverside. Its a terrific time to buy in Victoria Grove as the number of houses on the market is high and interest rates are still very low.  But on the flip side, it is more challenging to sell in VG right now as there are so many houses for buyers to choose f...

Zoos Celebrate Halloween by Feeding Animals Pumpkins We get our homes ready for Halloween and buy decorations, costumes for our kids and even our pets as it is one of our most favorite holidays. Pumpkins are very healthy and it is nice to know that the animal preserves and zoos let their animals join in the celebrations too. Here is a picture from the Tampa Zoo showing 4 animals celebrating with pumpkins.                                   *My daughter likes to remove the seeds out of the center before carving it and bake the seeds. They are tasty and also a healthy treat. Happy Halloween! CalBRE #01492138 Keller Williams Realty–Women's Council of Realtors® California Real Estate Agent- Kristin Hamilton.

  As the weather cools down, our thoughts turn to visions of … leaf piles, broken gutters, and stopped-up chimneys. Or rather, how to deal with such household chores before the winter sets in. Here are 10 jobs that should top your priority list this fall.              1. Change batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s a great idea to do this on the day Daylight Savings Time ends. Check the expiration on your fire extinguisher and review your escape plan with your family as well. 2. Inspect your fireplace. Have the chimney cleaned professionally, clear out any leftover ashes from last year from disposal chute if you have one, fix cracked glass doors.  3. Get the garage into shape. Gather up summer items such as lawn chairs, umbrellas, garden tools, and beach toys, pa...

Happy Patriot's Day on September 11, 2014  A day of Remembrance In the United States, Patriot Day, observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance occurs on September 11 of each year in memory of the 2,977 people killed in the 9/11 attacks. A bill to make September 11 a national day of mourning was introduced on October 25, 2001 that requested the President designate September 11 of each year as "Patriot Day". President George W. Bush signed the resolution into law to proclaim September 11, 2002 as the first Patriot Day and each year to follow. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, President George W. Bush proclaimed Friday September 14, 2001, as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001. WE MUST NEVER FORGET! ♥T...

 Google Authorship is Axed by Google Inman News and Forbes recently confirmed that Google has pulled the 'Google Authorship' citing that they had determined it was ineffective for it users. It was first started in 2012 and only 30% of the users had taken advantage of it since.  John Mueller, Webmaster Trends Analyst for Google, stated they had observed that the information wasn't as useful as they had hoped and may have distracted from the results. After months of consideration, Google made the decision to stop showing authorship. Mueller said removing authorship generally doesn't seem to reduce traffic to sites nor did it increase clicks on ads. This is good news for your search ranking. Mueller also said the pictures already on the site would not be removed.  Authorship as we all know...

Google+ Limits the Number of Friend Requests Daily   When I switched from my primary email address on gmail to the new one that Keller Williams set up for us, I started a new Google+ plus account.  My older account has 1,669 friends in  my circle but the new one has 88. So I changed the settings and started building my numbers in my 'Circle of Friends". Yesterday, I got this message box that read "You have exceeded the number of friend request for today. You can come back tomorrow and add more". I tried to do a screen shot of this red/white box but it would disappear when I hit the Preview button.   Please click on the link and add me to your Google+ Circle of Friends.   Thanks for Reading my Real Estate Blog.......   CalBRE #01492138 Keller Williams Realty–Women's Council of Realtors® ...

Do You Use the Facebook Graph Search for Real Estate I remember a few years ago when I would be on Facebook and looking for friends or prospective clients and would have a terrible time finding them sometimes. And then if you looked up someone with a common name, you would finally get 50+ but the thumbnail picture was so tiny that you couldn't tell if that was the person or not.   For the past few months Facebook has made it a lot easlier to find people or places. You type in a name or area (Riverside) and the search comes up. But then just below it, it will say Photos of Riverside, People who live in Riverside. Here many names show up with big photos  so this is a good way to search and set up a specific farm area. So whether you use Facebook for personal contacts or for business searc...

US Coast Guard Protects Sea Life as Well as People        I thought this video was amazing considering this sea turtle was approximately 800 pounds. Most of us are nature lovers and this type of rescue is so rewarding for the enviroment. This sea turtle was tangled in fishing nets which is a big problem to sea life: sea turtles, sharkes, whales,etc.   Thanks for Reading my Real Estate Blog.......

Just like the Movies....Bogart and Bacall Together Again   Lauren Bacall  (1924-2014) met Humphrey Bogart on the set making a movie in Hollywood in 1944. They were married in 1945 and had 2 children before Bogart died of cancer in 1957. Bacall married Jason Robards in 1961 and had one child but the marriage did not last very long. Bacall gave an interview several years ago and said Humphrey Bogart was the love of her life.  Together Again......Just Like in the Movies
