What We Did


In 2001 we had two lovely daughters find two lucky men and get married. With one wedding in June and another in December, we had plenty of company that year. The housing market had been hot for a while, and we knew we could sell our house quickly if we wanted to accommodate our growing family by building a bigger home in the Virginia countryside. At the time, we had friends whose adult children had moved back home, not just as couples but as families with as many as five children in tow. We wanted to make certain we could accommodate the grandbabies that soon would arrive in our own family, so we built Poppy's Place, aka Alice Haddow's House for Grownups. Poppy's Place has served from its first moments of construction as an inspiration for the AHHG rules.
