SOME FUN THINGS TO DO IN FALL
It's no secret that the weather is changing. Whether you've begun to hear the crunch of leaves beneath your feet, or you've noticed the influx of fall-themed items in the stores or on the Internet.
1.Attend a football game. Get tickets to see your favorite professional team play, or make a trip to your college's homecoming game.
2.Have a Thanksgiving pot-luck a few weeks early - consider it a "taste-test" for the real thing.
3. An oldie, but goodie...Apple picking is a must! There really is something special (and tastier) about apples you've picked yourself.
4. Make a homemade warm drink for those cool nights - apple cider or hot chocolate both sound good to us!
5. Try out someseasonal recipes to go along with those drinks. At the top of our list are apple butter, pumpkin muffins, and butternut squash soup.
6.Switch out your closets. Put away those worn summer clothes and break out your fall wardrobe. Bring on the cozy sweaters!
7.Go camping or hiking at least once more before it gets too cold. Bonus points: you get a workout, plus a chance to see the leaves change color.
Visit The Villages for some great hiking trails...over 7 1/2 miles in our beautiful hills overlooking the Valley.
Enjoy this beautiful Fall weather and have FUN!

What are Propositions 60 and 90?
|
These two propositions were constitutional amendments approved by the voters of California to provide property tax relief to senior citizens over the age of 55 by preventing reassessment when selling an existing residence and purchasing or constructing a replacement residence worth the same or less than the original residence.
Proposition 60 allows transfers of base year values within the same county.
Proposition 90 allows transfers from one county to another county in California.
Only 10 counties have passed an ordinance to approve proposition 90: Alameda, El Dorado, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Ventura.
