Add a comment

If you’re thinking of something different to do this coming Saturday the 20th, then think no more.

Heritage Oak Winery Tasting Room Bar

Join other birding enthusiasts for the March edition of the Weekend Bird Walks. The tour will be led by David Yee who will guide the group across the vineyards of the Heritage Oak Winery in Lodi, CA.  You’ll be taken along the Mokelumne River and through our riperian woodland.  David is among the leading experts at native bird identification in San Joaquin County.

The walk will start at the winery at 9:30am. Sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended.  Binoculars and field guides are also helpful.  And of course bring your cameras.  Dress appropriately for the weather.  An optional lunch will be served at 11:30am with wine and must be ordered in advance.

The cost is $20 per person for the bird walk.  If lunch is desired afterward, there is an additional $10 charge.  Contact David at (209) 329-5490 to make your reservation, or email to the winery at info@heritageoakwinery.com and include your telephone number.  A credit card will reserve your place and meal.

The weather forecast for this Saturday is a low of 49 and a high of 75 and partly cloudy.  So enjoy!

How would you like to take a step back in time to see Simon & Garfunkel in concert singing their top hits?  Me too!

Well, how about the next best thing.  Tribute artists Mark W. Curran and Tom Haney are a musical duo that transports audiences on a journey through the history of Simon & Garfunkel with songs from their 50-year career, and even some sing-alongs to popular favorites.

Who doesn’t remember and love “Mrs. Robinson“, “Sounds of Silence“, and “Bridge Over Troubled Water“?

The concert will take place on Sunday, March 28th at 3:00pm in the Charlene Powers Lange Performing Arts Theatre located at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi, CA.  You can even see the office of Realty World-Davis Homes & Properties from there.   For tickets and/or more information call (209) 333-5550.

What Are the Advantages of Owning a Home?

Add a comment

There are many. Among the most appealing: you own it, which gives you, instead of a landlord, control of your living space, and the ability to do what you want with it.  Other benefits include potential tax savings and the build up of equity as your property likely appreciates in price over time once again.  Equity can be used to help put children through college, purchase a second home, or make home improvements.

The mortgage interest paid on a home loan is tax deductible, as is the local property tax. If you get a fixed-rate home mortgage loan, you also can invest more wisely knowing your monthly mortgage payment, unlike rent, will not change substantially.

With mortgage loan interest rates as low as they are now, and expected to go higher in 2010, it might be a better idea to invest in Lodi real estate and Stockton real estate now more than ever.  Having a low interest assumable mortgage loan may become very attractive in the future.

Make it a great day!
