WHAT YOUNG CHILDREN DO, CAN SURPRISE YOU!



A child's mind works in strange ways. We had this experience when we visited our three grandchildren, two three-year-olds, twins, and one six-year-old.

We left Foster City, California, around 12:40p.m. and arrived in Citrus Heights, California, about 3:30p.m.; there was little traffic. The children were waiting for us since my wife called them and told them we were coming. The children ...

A HALLOWEEN NIGHT THAT YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET ?



If you are in San Francisco, heading on Mission Street, to the freeway, to go to Foster City, don't and I repeat don't pick up any young looking girl thumbing a ride on Halloween night.

In the early sixties, when the hippie movement in San Francisco was very popular, a young girl dressed in a long flowery gown that reached down ...

FOSTER CITY LIBRARY; CALIFORNIA LORE



Foster City, California, has one the best libraries in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is located on Hillsdale Blvd., which is the main thoroughfare through Foster City. Since I had some free time, I went browsing for interesting reading about Northern California and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

I came across this bit of information that I thought was interesting about the Sierra Nevada ...

A Geyser: "California's Old Faithful"



The Bay Area has many fascinating places to visit--if you know where to find them. My wife and I found one place that we didn't know existed.

Because we were staying home, Foster City, CA, on weekends, we didn't have any place to go or anything to do except to travel to San Francisco and see the same sites that ...

BIG OAK FLAT ROAD--A PICTURESQUE WAY TO YOSEMITE



One morning, while waiting for Foster City's Audubon Elementary School's kindergarden class to open, for my granddaughter, I saw in a local newspaper, Foster City Islander, the title "Big Oak Flat Road Into Yosemite." I read the small advertisement and started to remember the trips I took on the road as a teenager.

I never knew the history of the road, ...

IT DIVED INTO THE RIVER'S CANYON



My wife and I, several years ago, decided to take our daughter(5-years old) to Yosemite: we always would go Highway 120, it's a more scenic route. We left Foster City about 5 a.m. and arrived in the park around 10 a.m., we made several stops on the way.

We heard about bald eagles, but have never seen one in ...

Summer is here when the temperature in Foster City, California, hit 90-plus. In other areas of the state, the temperatures are even higher. So, everyone trys to cool off--I mean everyone, the animals too.

Don't be surprised to find in your swimming pool an uninvited guest. It could be Yogi Bear; the flower of the woods, a skunk; or a ...
