So good to see Barb, Gerry and Michael,

This morning Pooka and I ventured out to the park in the very cool air.  Then it was back to a steel cut oats breakfast along with a single slice of wheat bread with fresh avocado and thin slices of fresh tomato, then to finish breakfast I had a fresh peach.  Talk about a great meal.

I prepared a field review of an appraisal recently completed in Brentwood and then we left for the Spaghetti Factory in Roseville.  We met Gerry, Barbie and Michael, their youngest son.  What an incredible time we had eating and chatting.  Gerry has lost 35 pounds and it really shows but he was in great spirits and enjoyed a small portion of his food.  We hope that he gets a new device for his heart that will make it work better and soon.  I think its in the works.

After our delightful lunch we drove a few miles to our afternoon appointment which was a little house built in the 60s with a some very nice owners.  Turns out the lady drives to Brentwood every week to care for two little ones for two days a week.

Once we left there we headed home and in Lodi decided to turn to Rio Vista on 12 and come into Brentwood the back way.  You see they had called and the bug was ready with its rebuilt injector pump.  Well it works great but it is much much more loud now, we will have to see about that, its really loud and the new sounds can be heard at all speeds, not very pleasant.

This evening we reinspected a property where upon the original inspection they had the garage divided into little rooms.  FHA wants the garage to function freely as a garage so I called for the removal of the dividers.  Today they finished that work and I had to reinspect.  The first time I went there my electronic key was dead and needed to be recharged so it was home to get the charger before we could access the house.  As long as we were there we went to Jalisco's for dinner, the food was very tasty.

Now we are home, the cars are parked in the garage and night is settling in.  It was so good to see Barb and Gerry, just to see them in action once again and listen to them talk, very special time.  And to catch up with Michael, he is an amazing guy, makes videos for UTube I think about how to fix things around the house, he is a contractor and can just do anything with his hands.  He built my back deck and the steps and steps are never easy.

Well I'm giving it up for the night, I'm worn out and ready to rest.

Love to all

Tim
