A BIT OF DOWNTOWN DAVIE :)

Davie has been home to Gene and I for 18 years, and it was the first place that felt like "home" to us here in South Florida. It is just about 10 miles West of the Skyscrapers that run up and down the Gold Coast and home to the Miami Dolphins. It's approximately 35 square miles with about 90,000 residents ... much more than when we first moved here. The influx really began after Hurricane Andrew hit South Miami. Lots of folks lost their home to that Storm, and many of them moved North to Broward County. Even with all the folks that live here, it still has managed to maintain it's rural atmosphere in many places with a touch of an equestrian/western lifestyle. The McDonald's in Downtown Davie even has a hitching post :)

Here's our Town Hall, which I pass every day on my way to work. At Christmas time, it is lit up from head to toe; and the front yard is filled with live Christmas Trees that the local schools decorate.

This is a pretty spot; but after all these years, I've yet to actually see a canoe (LOL)!

This place is filled with everything "Western" imaginable!!!!!!! If you're looking for a good pair of cowboy boots or a 10 gallon hat, here's your place :)

And I can't tell you how much feed we've purchased here for the silly ducks that Gene adores ... have also purchased hay through the years to dress up the front porch in October and November :)

Well, that brings our tour for the day to a close. Hope you enjoyed seeing some bits and pieces of our Town :)

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35, 38-39)
