This yellow-haired, perky pair were walking billboards over the weekend, for oromoting Cupcake Vineyards.  Part of the visual relief at the weekend's Underdog Wine Bar Grand Opening at Concannon Winery in Livermore, CA.  After all, you have to look at something while you drink wine and eat savory snacks.                   Next, we have an acrobatic contortionist.                    Firedancers too.  What wine event would be complete without them?  Since this scenery isn't available on your average weekend, here's what the typical scenery at Concannon Vineyards looks like ;)

If you’re a wine aficionado, why not live in wine country? In California, that gives you lots of options, but I’m certainly partial to Livermore, CA as a resident of 17 years. Here’s my Top 10 List of Reasons to live in Livermore. 1. Location- just 35 miles from San Francisco, Livermore is accessible to Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose airports. At the east end of the Tri Valley region, commuters find it appealing for its proximity to the Delta and foothills for weekend getaways, but still reasonable driving range to work via Highways 84 or 580. 2. Diversity – with rolling hills and open spaces, this former ranchland still has its share of ranchers, but has also made way for suburban living with single family homes, townhomes and condos. On the south side of Livermore you’ll find vi...

Who knew? Heard this on the radio today and thought it was worth a look. Local area restaurants will be competing to find the hottest, tastiest salsa recipes to spice up your Saturday afternoon. Make your way over to “K” Street, between First and Second, to take a taste and cast your vote. And who can enjoy salsa without a Margarita or an ice cold beer? Lemonade and soft drinks are available to cool you as well. Latin band, Orquesta Timbalero will keep the energy up and local radio station KKIQ will be there too, with games and prizes. Don’t miss the fun – come to the Livermore Salsa Fest!

Default notices, the first step in the foreclosure process, fell 43.8 percent in the second quarter compared to the same period last year. Analysts say the decline is due to banks pushing loan-modification programs and short sales. Also, fewer homes are underwater thanks to a recovery in home prices, so a smaller number of home owners are walking away.
