MyValleyEye.com interviews Bill Carmichael of www.ValleyGoldmineFresno.com about buying gold and how he makes it fun and profitable for you, and your friends and family by hosting Gold Parties, and also benefiting local non-profit organizations with a similar concept that proves to be beneficial for all involved.

I personally learned a couple of things about the Gold selling process that made me feel very comfortable and actually excited about the idea, and future possibilities!

Bill struck me as a very down to earth, and honest person, that I will gladly refer others to in the future.

Buying and Selling Vintage Clothing
by: Ceri Heathcote

Vintage clothing has become hugely popular in the last few years as people look for ways to get their own style, customise their outfits and find something a bit different from the usual clothing available on the high street.

Vintage clothing is usually sold through vintage boutiques or online through online vintage stores or clothes swapping or selling websites. Before you begin to buy and sell vintage clothing, you need to think carefully about what you would like to achieve. Are you hoping to make money by buying items and selling them on at a higher price or are you looking for beautiful pieces that you can keep and treasure for ever.

If you are buying and selling vintage for the purpose of making money, you will need to research which types of items and designers sell most easily and for the most money. You will also need to find some where to buy vintage clothes at a very good price to allow you to add money and sell them on. eBay is an option although you will have to pay a fee and you will be up against many people when bidding for an item. There is are also second hand clothes swapping websites that allow you to buy sell and swap clothes for free saving you money.

If you are looking for vintage items for yourself, you will need to consider which designer styles you like or what type of pieces you are looking for. It can be difficult to get the right size so if you are not visiting a shop where you can try items on, be sure to take your measurements and ask the seller to give you the exact measurements of the clothing.

Remember to ask the seller lots of questions including the condition of the clothing, whether it comes from a non smoking household, what it is made of and details on the care label. There are a huge variety of vintage shops both online and off and so it is definitely worth doing some research and having a good look around to find exactly what you are looking for.

Clovis California Dining Experience, Best Service Experience Ever!

2011-09-19T13:26:00.000-07:00

Clovis California Dining Experience, Best Service Experience Ever!

See What I Ordered In This Video Below, , But that's NOT What made this dining experience wonderful, , , a VERY special waitress DID!

If you've ever eaten at Diccico's Italian Restaurant in Old Town Clovis, , you know the food is good!

So that ends my review on the food.

Now to the highlight of my dining experience at Diccico's Italian Restaurant (in Old Town Clovis, CA)

When Mary Jo Pople came to my table, and asked if I was ready to order, , my first impression was, , , "What a nice lady!"

I had no idea she was 81 years old!

(more about Mary below photo)

(I just had to have my photo taken with this VERY special woman)

I think I've found my new hero!

Mary is truly a wonder woman, and the wonders don't end with her age.

I've learned that Mary is a mother of 8, , , yes I said eight! She has 13 grandchildren, and 24 plus great-grandchildren, and at least one great-great grandchild!

She's a survivor of breast cancer! She was diagnosed back when she was 75 years old. I'd like to add that Mary refused therapy at one point and has been thriving (obviously) ever since!

She has been waitressing for 55 years, and has worked for Diccico's restaurants since their very early days. She worked for 20 years for the location owned by Nick DiCicco. She retired for a period of time to take care of her ailing husband at the time who passed away in 2001. She returned to work for DiCicco's at the Old Town Clovis location in 2006, and has been making people smile ever since!

Mary is also actively involved as a greeter/coordinator of her church (People's Church) in Fresno, CA.

What amazed me with Mary in the short amount of time I had with her at this restaurant ~ is that she clearly cares about people, has a twinkle in her eye, and the most beautiful smile!

Mary's not one to be underestimated either, , , she can carry more plates, than many half her age, , literally glides when she walks, and just has that special ability to light up the room!

I look forward to going back for the food yes, , , but especially to see Mary Jo Pople again!

An Old Central Valley Landmark, Revamped And Thriving!

An Old Central Valley Landmark, Revamped And Thriving!

(SEE REVIEW OF WHAT WE ATE & ON THE SERVICE QUALITY BENEATH PICTURE AS SEEN BELOW)

Many in the Valley remember Mearle's Drive In on Mooney Blvd. In Visalia California.

According to news archives I found, , the restaurant (that had served the Valley for 65 years), , closed in approx. 2006 due to some legal and financial issues.

On Sept. 7th, 2011, , this old landmark, that has stood deserted, and lonely across from College Of The Sequoia's re-opened with a new look, new name, and new ownership. (New name mentioned in video above)

I've noticed since that opening date, this place has been crazy busy!

My thinking is, , the food must be pretty darn good!, or local residents are just very happy to see this landmark alive and kicking once again.

(SEE THE REVIEW OF WHAT WE ATE, THE ATMOSPHERE, AND SERVICE BELOW PICTURE)

(image added by 3rd party provided permissible embedded code)

THE REVIEW!

First of all, , the place is BUSY! It Appears to be very popular with folks of all ages, and walks of life.

THE ATMOSPHERE: is very high paced, and on the noisier side (which makes sense given that it's a fast-paced, fast food diner)

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 (ten being best) In my personal opinion, I give this place at least an 8 for creating a wholesome, take you back in time, feeling with it's decor reminiscent of the original diner. You just feel good in this place.

SERVICE: I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the level of service we received for such a fast-paced, busy fast-food restaurant! We were greeted with a very friendly smile, thorough ordering process with all options explained to us, and we got our food in less than 10 minutes! I expected more of a wait considering how busy this place was.

They appeared to be adequately staffed, which I'm sure helps with the overall moral of the employees, and their ability to do their given job well. My kids and I ate in the outside table area, and an employee came out at least twice to check on us as well as other customers who were outside. We were asked if we needed anything, how our food was. Our tray and trash was even picked up for us when they noticed that were were finished eating.

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 (ten being best) In my personal opinion, I have to give this place a 10! I know they're new, and working hard to impress, but if they keep their level of service high, and don't allow themselves to become under-staffed, I will definitely return!

MENU: The menu is what you might expect for a diner/burger place, ~ (pleasing, with just enough options to keep most mouths happy).

BONUS: They include a calorie count next to most items behind the register!

I ordered ~ the "Grilled Chicken Salad" - cost $6.75

DESCRIPTION: Fresh romaine, iceberg and red leaf lettuces, Roma tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, carrots and croutons, topped with a grilled chicken breast.

MY PERSONAL OPINION: The salad seemed very fresh, the chicken was more salty than I prefer.

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 (ten being best) - I'd give this salad my personal opinion rating of 6 for freshness, and hunger satisfaction)

My Son Ordered - the "Charburger" - cost $2.95 (and fries one size available only @$1.80)

DESCRIPTION: Mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and carmelized onions on a toasted bun.

MY SON'S PERSONAL OPINION & RATING: "I guess the burger was just ok, but the fries were very good!"

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 (ten being best) My son's personal opinion rating for the burger was a 5, and he gave the fries a 9.

My Daughter Ordered - the "Chicken Sandwich" - cost $5.45 (and fries one size avaialable only @$1.80)

DESCRIPTION: Hand filleted chicken breast, melted Swiss, crisp lettuce, tomato, mayo and your choice of BBQ or teriyaki sauce.

MY DAUGHTER'S PERSONAL OPINION & RATING: "the sandwich is good, and the fries are really good!"

ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 (ten being best) My daughter's personal opinion rating for the chicken sandwich was a 6, and she gave the fries an 8.

Will we return? Likely so!

Local Art, Aliens, Insects And Monsters Oh My!

Local Art, Aliens, Insects And Monsters Oh My!

By: Charish

Today, I decided to stop by a home in the Valley that I often drive by and admiringly glance at their yard.

It's no ordinary yard, but a yard filled with what I call "junk art" with no disrespect intended. In fact, I absolutely love these welded art creations that cause the imagination to stir. The kind of art that makes you wonder, "What were they thinking?", , , and in the next second, , think who cares?, this stuff is cool!"

I knocked on the home owner's door to ask permission to view their art, but nobody answered. I decided to take some pictures of a few pieces in hopes that while doing so, , someone, would see me and come out. No such luck :(

Sooo, if by chance you recognize the art pictured below, and know the artist, please do put me in touch with them so I can give them the proper shout out, and credit to help them in their pursuit to sell some of their wonderful artwork!

Enjoy a few pics below:
