55+ Living Guide Fall 2016 Issue | Seite 8

55+ LIVING GUIDE Editor's Message With the close of Summer I look forward to the start of Fall, one of my favorite seasons because for me it represents a sort of calmness. The rush of Summer and being constantly on the go seems to come to a halt with the transition into Fall. I breathe a sigh of relief. From your first bite of a crisp apple or the sweet taste of a cider donut, to admiring the colors changing leaves, it’s all part of life slowing down. I stop to look at the leaves, pull on a sweater and enjoy the new season. Closer to home the Capital Region abounds this time of year with plenty of weekend events. Check out the Capital Region Apple & Wine Festival at The Altamount Fair Grounds or start to train for the 69th Annual Troy Turkey Trot, you are never too old to start exercising! (pg. 36) Ahh… for the love of wine! Any season is a good season for a glass of wine so this Fall explore some of New York’s wineries (pg 10). Try a new wine this Fall… they don’t have to be expensive to be good. (pg. 32) OPEN Open House Tours HOUSE We are excited to bring you the NY Capital Region’s 1st Annual, FREE, self guided, one day only ‘Open House Tours’, Saturday November 12th catered to those looking to downsize.
