The Friendly Village was a great choice

Today I am reflecting on my good fortune resulting from the choice of a retirement destination my husband and I made in 1972. That was to settle in Fallbrook. This season of the year brings thoughts like that, doesn’t it? It was a great choice that led to many meaningful adventures into community, and earning many friends.

The Friendly Village was epitomized on a shopping venture just before Christmas at Major Market, our hometown grocery. An older gentleman leaving the building with a basketful of groceries, turned as he neared the door and yelled, “Merry Christmas to all.” The crowds in the store heard it and the glad murmurs that were heard made me think of the words we hear so often

“Only in Fallbrook.”
