Good evening

Its Friday evening and its been a very long and rewarding week.

I've enjoyed many hours with Moon on the phone and texting, I've met many nice homeowners, seen millions of dollars worth of property and am very thankful to be alive and well.

Moon is my Houston friend and I'm looking forward to traveling to Houston on the 10th to spend a few days  with her.  She is so faithful to her family in Singapore and spends several hours each day talking to them, encouraging them and giving them her love and her ear.  Her father continues to be very ill and her mom is a faithful care giver so its nice she has someone to talk to every day, Moon is that special person.

I was surprised to discover rain today and dealt with a bit of drops of water as I measured three homes but mostly it was just a very decent cool day.  Jessy was here writing up reports while I was out seeing more houses, many more orders came in today so next week looks busy and good.  I am so thankful to a loving Father who watches over us every day.

The high point of the week for me locally was seeing Keith and Marilyn Tall the other day, long time friends and dedicated church members they are very active in their home church and it was great to hear about the ministries they conduct for their community.

I'm tired tonight as you might expect so I think I'll head to bed soon.

Sending love to all,

Tim

Talls come to town

Good evening
This has been some day!  Left house at 7:30 this morning to drive to Sacramento to see nice little property, then raced back to Tracy to Golden Corral for lunch with Dr. and Mrs Keith Tall, long time friends and members of our church in Tracy, today several of us joined the Talls as they traveled through from their winter warm spot to a less warm spot near Portland.  Somehow these people never age and it was so good to hear their stories, about the kids and about their life.

After that bit of enjoyment I went back to work, I saw a house in Tracy, cute and in good shape with a great Asian agent, so gentle and kind, a class act.  Then it was off to Stockton to see a rather rough property but loved, then it was on to Lodi to see a really nice home, from there it was back to Discovery Bay and an inspection of a large home in Lakeshore, a gated community nearby and finally it was time to come home.

When I got home and was talking to Moon I decided I needed to get my 3 mile walk in, I've just done that under the full moon and now ready to shower and then work a bit before bed.

A very full day and safe, rewarding and Moon had a sunny day in Houston, the storm is past and she is safe again.

Love to all,

Tim

Motorhome rented

So for the last few weeks I've been either thinking about fixing things on the motorhome or actually fixing them.  Today that worked out, I was able to rent the motorhome, showed it to a nice couple from Modesto who decided to rent it next month and gave me a nice deposit to hold it.  That was really great news and it will help pay the monthly payment too.

Its been a work up appraisals sort of day and get organized for the week ahead and I'm thankful for work and for good health, I walked 3 miles this morning and now I'll go ride the treadmill for 30 minutes, shower and rest, I am determined to drop some weight before my next trip to Houston, I had picked up about 20 pounds since December and its got to go, I've already dumped about 4 or 5 pounds of the 15 I want to dump by just being careful, drinking lots of water and moving more.

I'm thankful every morning for a new day, for a meaningful relationship and for a place to live, cars to drive, work to do and a family that is wonderful.

I send love to all tonight
