That's a pretty common question in my area. So many of us are from "away". I find the replies, very interesting. It's not uncommon to hear someone say they sailed here, and then decided to settle in the area(that's a large part of why we're here).

There's also a fairly high turnover in the Camden Rockport area. For some the problem is finding that it is more difficult to make the incomes they need. For others, it's the winter(that one is dumb,...). A few others just never seem to fit into the community, and that bothers them.

Most of the places I've lived(not that many) were small communities. The smaller ones felt like home when I was growing up in them, they still do when I return. At least when I run into someone I knew when living there previously.

Home is where we are though, and that's here for us for the last 13 years. Rarely does a day go by when one of us doesn't say, "Can you believe we live here?" Seriously, but I bet you feel the same.
