    A San Francisco couple is glad they decided not to sell and retire elsewhere. The East Bay awaits.

    BySusie Wyshak April 14, 2026April 14, 2026

I found this WWII V-mail letter (see wiki) in an a I found this WWII V-mail letter (see wiki) in an attic of a house that was being emptied out. The infantryman had mailed the letter to some gals in Oakland. The address downtown is now a commercial area. Luckily there is someone with his name living locally...I'm going to gamble and mail it to him. Or should I try to find family related to the addressee? Either way finding this miniaturized letter, which they photographed to minimize mail bag transportation, is a lovely reminder of what so many have given up for freedom in America. Today is a day to reflect how lucky we have been to live in a democracy. Let freedom reign AND ring!

I love my work as a real estate agent in #Oakland I love my work as a real estate agent in #Oakland ! Today at a broker tour home preview, I met the seller who had planted the grapefruit tree in front. He not only gave me a fallen fruit, but he said I could graft from his tree onto new rootstock. He said the variety has been said to be rare by a pomologist. Talking California citrus at a property for sale is my happy place!
