Good evening,
This has been a good day and very interesting. I've produced many appraisals and they are with the lenders now. While it was very warm outside my office stays cool and comfortable while I work. Mid day today I had some sort of migraine headache that made what I saw in front of my eyes distorted. I had to reduce the light and actually close my eyes for awhile until I could work again. Not fun at all.
I am thankful that orders are still coming in and with the orders some checks as well. God has been very good to me over the years and continues to be good to me now. My friend and I both feel that He has led us to each other and we hope that soon we will actually be together for real. Could be tomorrow and I'm praying very hard that we can join hands.
The weather has been very hot today so I was not sorry that I was not measuring homes in the sun. For lunch today I used one of the new whole wheat tortillas and melted cheese on it, cut up tomatoes, cucumbers and had a feast. It was so good and stayed with me pretty well for the whole afternoon. For breakfast this morning it was oatmeal, double fiber toast with avocado.
My eating habits are so different now, this evening I went to Burger King and had just the vege patty and lettuce and a side salad along with a senior drink. Great stuff and the weight keeps falling.
Well I'm going to try to get a bit more work done tonight and then head to bed. With my friend in London I tend to get up very early to spend time with her and sometimes that means 4 or 5 am. Funny thing is when you care for someone putting your normal routines on hold doesn't seem to matter at all. You just think about what helps the other person. I think they call it love.
Well I'll send some love your way tonight,
Tim

Excellent day
In spite of some personal concerns this has been a very good day.
Highlights include: helping the family take down tents and pack up after spending a night in our park with 2000 other people. Great fun was had by the whole family including Nikki who slipped away and slept in her own bed but came back today to help pack up.
I came back home to work hard at appraisal writing and tonight I'm happy to report that I've written 5 today. That is serious progress and tomorrow I'll do some more writing.
On the personal level I've had some very nice time with someone I care about a lot today. Not every thing is perfect but I think she is!!
heading to bed now, so sleepy and ready to rest until I hear from her in the morning around 6:30.
Love to all
Tim

Outstanding Sabbath
Hi
Quick reprieve of the day. up and walking at 6:30, worship service in Antioch at 11:15, enjoyed my time there very much, good sermon, good music, beautiful church, easy to slip and out without anyone even speaking to me, that part not so good.
Spent afternoon with my family in the park at the great American campout. About 1800 hundred people are camped in the park tonight including Steve and the girls, their neighbors and many other friends. It was a very well planned event, Radio Disney was there with an excellent program, dinner and breakfast was provided, a rock climbing wall was brought in, they held an ice cream eating contest and a pizza eating contest, hundreds of tents in place tonight. I came home and enjoyed time with Ray and Lois on their back deck, then went back to the park for the evening, just home now.
Spent time with my friend but learned she could not travel until tomorrow, a huge disappointment but God is in charge and I have to let Him be God.
This afternoon when she was going to bed her phone froze so we have very little time on yahoo messenger to be in contact but she came back at 12:30 her time and we talked a little but she was just too sleepy.
We think tomorrow is our day, God willing.
Sending love to all,
Tim

Friday evening and all is well here
Dear Family and Friends,
What a week and I can only share a tiny part of what is playing out but God is the hero of this week having helped over and over in amazing ways. I believe I've never seen such a week.
Work is really great. I've been getting orders at a clip that keeps me pretty busy and I'm so thankful to God for His help.
For years I've needed some new office equipment. So I purchased a Brother color laser printer that sends faxes, scans, copies and prints in excellent color. I've enjoyed it great performance all week. My scanner was very old and hardly worked, my fax had given up, my copier no long document fed and the color printer I had was about 12 years old and was very expensive to keep in toner and drum. Thank you Lord for helping with this purchase.
The Sabbath is here and with it peace and quiet. God is good and like Pastor Jessica always said, God is good all the time. Oh how He loves you and me.
Love to all,
Tim

Traffic slows the day
Its been quite a day. I had some conversations early this morning, I mean very early and then did the walk during which I talked to my special friend the entire way around the lake. Then it was a quick shower and off to see a home in Oakland.
But there was a problem, some poor truck driver laid his truck and trailer across three lanes of 580 near Pleasanton and stopped traffic all the way to Tracy, it took me 2 hours to move from Livermore to Oakland near the Harbor. Fortunately there were still people there at the little house so I could do my work.
Then it was back home to find a check in the mail!! which I took to the bank and that was a nice moment. Later today I went to Mountain House and did a very nice home for a great family and then to Olive Garden for eggplant parm and salad. Now I'm home cleaning up the house a bit, doing the dishes, setting up new orders, thank you Lord, and now I'm heading to bed. Sleep is in high demand these days and I never get enough of it.
I'm asking God to continue to bless us especially tomorrow and I would appreciate your asking for His guidance and powerful help as well.
I appreciate each of you and want you to know how much you have meant to me over the years. In a short time things will be changing for me and the future of a daily blog is up for question, we will decide what to do but for now it will continue every day I can remember to write it or hold my eyes open long enough to write it.
Remember, God is good all the time,
Teach me to love like you love oh God and my world will be a better place.

Great day
Did I mention that God is so good to us...
Today He delivered my two precious little girls that live here in Discovery Bay. They came about 10 and after their swimming experiences we settled in for me to work and they to play. They get along remarkably well except for the times they are attempting to kill each other. They are growing up and can handle more and more of the needed touches of life, like Keanna making her own pasta tonight and doing it perfectly, Kallie can sure raid the Popsicles in the freezer. Today we bought a 20 piece McNugget box from McDs and tonight there are only about 3 pieces left.
Meanwhile I have been cranking on getting work out, not really blazing I have still got some out. I was very disappointed to get no money in the mail today, I really needed some but it was not to be. We had a balmy day of about 90 degrees and if we get the house closed up in the morning then it holds very well so the big AC hardly runs at all.
On the personal level I enjoyed a couple hours of really enjoyable relationship time with my friend and hope to see her up close and personal soon. I'm leaving a lot in God's hands because He knows it all and we all can trust Him to lead.
I'm so thankful to God for His help and guidance and I continue to ask that you join me in prayer that God will make the right things happen according to His greater knowledge and His supreme love for us.
Sending love to all tonight,
Tim

Evening
The best thing to be said about this day is that it is about over.
Lots of work, lots of disappointments and a night without sleep. I'm guessing that the iced coffee I got at Starbucks last evening was real instead of decaf. The worker was really buried being the only one there at the time and I think I got the real stuff because I was wide awake from 10:30 to 2 am, then slept off and on, bummer of a night for sure. I did have lots of time to pray and I do enjoy talking to God about everything, my friend has taught me to turn things over to God again and again and I appreciate that from her.
Speaking of her we had very nice conversations several times today and that always helps to make the day bright.
For now I'm giving up and going to sleep, so ready to feel the world drop away.
Sending love to all,
Tim
