A Final Walk in the Neighborhood?

We usually walk over to Coldwell Banker to see the charming Christmas window display. But today we stopped in to close on the selling of one of our units here on Capitol Hill. But, we were supposed to be at Logan Title just down the street! So our real estate agent came to find us and the proceedings started. After several years of searching many places and contemplating a more conducive lifestyle, we are making a move to Virginia. I’ve been retired for three years from the Library of Congress and have now just “lived” in the city without having to go to work. We just finally grew out of our space here and feel it’s the right time to move on. And, our family moved from just down the street four years ago. So after the signing, we ambled on over to the bank to get a cashiers check for the exact amount to put down on our new home for a settlement tomorrow. The last time we did that was ten years ago when we bought our second condo unit across the hall from the one we just sold. At the end of the month we hopefully will have another settlement to attend for our second unit and that will close the chapter and book on our Capitol Hill lifestyle. We will still be close enough to visit as much as we like - and in the interim that includes doctor, dentist, and hairdresser visits. It’s been a great thirteen years here. The moving company comes tomorrow to pack up our stuff.
