We just wanted to say goodbye to D’ville - our home for 35 years. My wife and I needed to find a single level home because of medical reasons, and we found what we needed on Kent Island. But, let us tell you about our life in D’ville, which was a true blessing.
We bought the land and had our
home built in 1985, raised two sons, helped raise two Goddaughters, helped
raise two granddaughters, Bichons and cats. Fed the deer, birds and wild
turkeys in our backyard, and way back in the day Dr. Graw’s peacocks would
sneak over to raid our bird feeders.
We were honored to be working with our neighbors as part of Friends of Rural Preservation, Cub Scouts, Davidsonville PTO (back then), coaching Gator soccer, DACA, AA County Veterans Affairs Commission, loved the Hershey’s ice cream at the Davidsonville County Store. We didn’t have to drive away from Davidsonville to witness Spring blooms and Autumn colors all throughout the area.
We learned the history of the
Davidsonville corner and surrounding farms through chats and presentations with
long-time residents. We took advantage of our rural beauty and walked to
a stream on the back of our property to sit on fallen tree trunks and watch the
water flow by large ferns planted by nature. When severe storms were
predicted, we learned to fill a bathtub with water so we could at least flush
toilets should the power go out.
All in all, Davidsonville is a
great place to live, We believe that Rt50/Rt424 is the last rural intersection
between Washington DC and Annapolis. We
will always remember returning from work in DC finally reaching Davidsonville
Road and home. The perfect comfort
zone.
