Like an Ocean to a Shore...

Everything must have an end

Like an ocean to a shore

Like a river to a stream.

Like a river to a stream,

It's the famous final scene.

"The Famous Final Scene"

Bob Seger

Our little piece of Paradise by the Sea has not been ours, legally, since late Tuesday afternoon.  Margaret and I have confirmation of the wire transfer into our bank account as proof.  Today, however, is the day we shall leave it for the final time.  The movers came yesterday and with Yours truly able to use work to mask his cowardice, Margaret was the one on-scene overseeing what they did and making sure everything proceeded according to plan.  

This morning, she and I shall do - in reverse perhaps - what we did the morning after we closed on our little piece of heaven in early May 2015, which is give it a good, throrough cleaning in preparation for its new owners.  The people to whom we sold it are beneficiaries of a much higher baseline than were the Missus and me seven and one-half years ago.  

We leave it in much better stead than we found it...

...a favor which it has reciprocated, I assure you.  

Take us out, Mr. Seger...
