Summer Finale

It seems like yesterday that I was typing my Memorial Weekend post here at "the beach". Summer has come and gone so quickly. I sure do hope you all had a summer to remember. It seems as though many of my fellow bloggers have been in kind of a "funk" lately......I think it's the end of summer blues. I hope we all snap out of it soon and come back Monday ready to take on fall and winter together.


Have An Amazing Weekend Everyone! 

I am going to leave you with "Famous Last Words" as I depart to enjoy the Labor Day weekend. It's an amazing end of summer song from Billy Joel, the final song, on his final cd, "River of Dreams". Enjoy your weekend and enjoy "Famous Last Words".

Sitting here in Avalon, looking at the pouring rain
Summertime has come and gone and everybody's home again
Closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs
I can still taste the wedding cake and it's sweet after all these years

These are the last words I have to say
That's why this took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life

There's comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fall
They're pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the Legion Hall
They swept away all the streamers after the Labor Day parade
Nothing left for a dreamer now, only one final serenade

And these are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
But that's the story of my life

And it's so clear standing here where I am
Ain't that what justice is for?
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn anymore

Stack the chairs on the table tops
Hang the sheets on the chandeliers
It slows down but it never stops
Ain't it sweet after all these years

And these are the last words I have to say
It's always hard to say goodbye
But now it's time to put this book away
Ain't that the story of my life
