Hi All,
I am a city/suburb girl by birth and raising until a year ago. I am 42, married 20 years and we have two children, 14 yos and 13 yod. My husband served 20 years in the Navy. We moved to a rural part of Maryland in June 2007. At first I thought isolated now I am thinking secluded and beautiful.
I have always crafted and I love to cook. I have had veggie gardens at a couple of our past houses. Now that we are fairly settled into our home I plan to do a lot: nice big veggie garden for fresh and preserved veggies and berries, a small orchard, and I really, really would like to have chickens. Maybe goats or sheep down the road. After moving so many times it is really nice to settle into one place.
I can't tell where this desire for a simpler, more self-reliant life is coming from, but I am very glad to have found this place. I am enjoying reading posts immensely. I look forward to learning and sharing.

So glad you found us. I'm new here too... I've found so many interesting articles and sweet, sweet ladies here.
I too love gardening and have adjusted quite easily to a slower pace. Sweet peace!

Hello there! I'm in Maryland too, but have never heard of Dayton. Just a coincidence, but I'm also 42 and my dd's are 14 & 13. Welcome!

Welcome to the forum Debbie! My husband and I have moved quite a bit just from rental to rental. Luckily we have only lived in 4 towns our whole life, we too are thinking we finally found our new hometown, but we are still looking for property. Your plans for your property sound great! I can't wait to hear more!
