We lived on Fort Meade before and so many places before that, originally from Massachusettes though. Putting down roots in what we hope is our forever home is weird and wonderful! Husband has avoided making new friends the last few moves and said it was too hard saying goodbye to so many people...
We just purchased a home in AAC and with the county law we can have 8 hens! First we need to build a coop up to code and get it inspected and get a license. Joy! Anyone here done this before?
