Who We Are- We are a small, family-operated business founded by myself, Ralph Anderson. I am a semi-retired Engineer with over 25 years experience in managing people and projects.

The remainder of my adult life was spent in Southern California with over 20 of those years in North San Diego County. My wife Patty was born in Michigan but spent most of her childhood and adult life in Southern California. Over the years, Patty and I have RV’d throughout much of the US and visited Canada, Mexico, Europe and Costa Rica. We love the climate- We live in San Marcos where the climate is greatly influenced by the coastal on-shore winds. Our weather is incredibly mild all year long, the summer humidity is usually low, there are few bugs and we have very few stormy days. We have central air conditioning in our home but seldom use it and we only use our heater for a couple of hours in the mornings and evenings of the colder winter days. We love the ambience- The Pacific coast with its beautiful cliffs, beaches, harbor and pier, the easily accessible, beautiful city of San Diego, the views of hills, mountains, avocado groves, palms and the year-round flowers and tropical plants, all combine to make this a special place to live. We love our safe, comfortable, convenient lifestyle- We feel safe living here and we have a great selection nearby restaurants, convenient shopping and excellent medical facilities. We love the vast selection of entertainment and other activities available- It's almost like living at your favorite resort. Not usually mentioned about other retirement places- We love the feeling of energy and excitement in this vibrant, growing economy. We don’t have a feeling (that exists in some retirement communities) that we are residents of “God’s Waiting Room.” Instead, we feel like we are participating in life at its best. About the Cost of Living- Home costs are higher than in most parts of the U.S. but I think of it this way- I am paying a little extra for a great retirement lifestyle and my home is a sound investment that God willing, we will someday pass on to our children and grandchildren. About living away from our children and grandchildren- We have six children and seven grandchildren. Fortunately, three of our children and one grandchild live nearby. The remainder live in other states and one even lives in Costa Rica. We keep in close touch with all of them by Email, IM (Instant Message) and telephone. They love to visit us because there is so much to do here and we find that it is easy and not that expensive to hop on a plane and visit them.
