Wow, cranking out the work

Dear Family and Friends,

Its time to go to sleep, what a huge day this has been and a nice one outside, at least I think it was.

This morning after a quick bite with Lois and Ray, eggs and a biscuit, you know diet food!, I drove to Oakley to see a little place.  Sort of cute and in good shape now after the investor crew got done.  Then to Bethel Island to see an older place with some charm.  It had beautiful waterfront covered berths with direct access to the world by boat.

Then it was time to get home and start writing.  There were two that were due today and as of now they are both gone.  Into the hands of the lenders and soon there will be new homeowners.

Since I was on Sandmound Blvd. today I decided to drive to the end of the street and check on what is a huge disaster.  A builder came in several years ago and constructed some beautiful homes, three stories high with huge docks.  Everything was just top end throughout.  Before they could get a few sales closed the bank pulled their funding and shut them down.  Now years later these fine homes stand empty behind a locked chain link fence.  It is so sad.  They had several in escrow but since none were closed the bank shut them down.  What a waste of effort, they just stand there and of course time is starting to take its toll on them as they stand without heat year after year.

I hope your week is well on the way, that you are enjoying your work and that life is looking up.  One personal note, please remember our little Timothy this evening.  MBA is in the clutches of a flu outbreak with several students ill.  Timothy has the flu and has been spiking a fever of 104 for the last 24 hours.  After a doctor visit this afternoon things sound a bit better but I know they would appreciate your prayers.

Love to all

Tim
