Quotation To Remember:
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be. -- Anna Louise Strong
It Was Love At First Sight!

Why Orange?
Orange has "small-town" feeling much like Rossmoor and it was close to everything Mary had known all her life so it was a natural.
The city of Orange is a fantastic example of what resident love about Southern California. With an equal balance of laidback SoCal character, plus all the charm of a small town, Orange has an appeal all its own.
The city's Old Town District features numerous antique homes, many dating back over a century — this gives the area a sense of living history that is unique among communities in this region. The area surrounding Orange Plaza Square serves as the city's downtown district, with an eclectic mix of boutique shops, specialty restaurants, and other small businesses in a walkable, open-air layout. Chapman University calls the area home, making it a perfect spot for a college apartment or first-time rental.
