At the end of last summer, the Missus and I did something that was almost impossibly hard for us to do. We sold our little Paradise by the Sea in Lake Como. Our love for it did not wane during the seven years we owned it. If anything, it only grew. Our long-range plan envisions us living out our golden years, full-time, at the beach. As much as we loved our Lake Como home, it does not have - and could not have (through no fault of its own) - all that we shall need to be a full-time, year-round home.
So, with the market at the Shore completely insane, we sold it. In the months since, as the market has calmed down a bit, we have looked at quite a few houses that may fit our needs. While some came closer than others, none of them was quite right.
Until now.
This afternoon the Missus and I shall accompany the gentleman we have hired as he performs the home inspection on a home that, presuming he gives it a clean bill of health, we shall buy. If all goes according to Hoyle, by the time Memorial Day Weekend 2022 arrives, this sign, which Jess and Rob gave us for Christmas in 2014, shall be hanging inside its new home.
And hopefully, its final one.

Congratulations and every good wish on the new (beach) home!
