My life is even busier now but its so good.
My partner Moon is battling very stormy weather in Houston tonight, winds, rains and flooding, she is home safe and dry now and I am glad.
This week marked the beginning of my joining P2P, pushups to pinups. Its the first time I've ever been in an exercise class this structured and this intense. Every muscle in my body is sore and stretched, I've been 5 times and tonight Nikki worked out beside me, that helped a lot as she was able to tell me how each exercise is to be done, since there are dozens of people in each class its hard at first to learn how to do. Going up stairs is now very tough for me, I'm tired, worn out and sleeping great as you can imagine.
But I'm even busier now than ever, work is intense, I have so much to get done and even with help I'm still behind.
Life is very good, Moon and I talk many times each day, we keep each other up to date on what we are doing, she is an incredibly loving woman and reminds me to eat, to rest and to be thankful to God for His blessings.
Sending love to all,

Life from here
Two things just happened that made me happy. First Moon just texted some very nice things to me as she was talking to her mom in Singapore, she does that every night for sometimes up to an hour, her mom spends every day with her dad who is so sick and fighting for his life. She has no one to talk to and Moon is faithful every day to spent time with her to listen and give her love. Its really a beautiful thing to observe, this caring that she and her mom share.
The second thing was a phone call from my renter of the motorhome, first rental of this year and he was hooked up for the night but no power happened. It was a simple matter of having him slip the breaker on the post and now they are good for the night but that means in spite of the terrible wind they faced all day they are there safely on the coast somewhere and I'm thankful for that.
Now I go to bed happy and grateful to a very loving God.
Love to all of you too,
Tim

I know, its been awhile
Bedtime here at my office, been cranking out reports this evening. On Tuesday morning I fly to Houston to be with my special friend once again, it seems like forever since I've been there and it has been awhile for sure. We will go to Galveston and spend a couple days at the beach to celebrate her birthday which was a couple weeks ago.
I've been buried with orders from several companies, so thankful but not even sleeping much right now getting it all completed and out the door. God is blessing me and us it seems. Moon is a firm believer in our Father caring for us and helping us with everything, so often when I'm praying or thinking about her and I ask God to watch over her in a special way, she calls or texts me in the next few minutes, its always sort of exciting to see how our Father works for us in our every day lives.
I'm healthy, happy and very excited, Keanna just turned 13 and had some great parts in Mary Poppins, a play she was in at school, that girl can act and we all enjoy it so much.

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.

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

Adjusting to life
Dear Family and Friends,
So I'm back from 5 fun filled days in Houston with my friend Moon! I will say this there are very few dull moments being with Moon. She knows the area where she lives very well and has many friends, the eating places are great, the Wal Marts a new experience as I rarely find myself in them here but there are deals there and there is junk there too, one just has to make the right choices.
Moon has a good sense of style and what matches and what does not, while there I asked if she would touch up my hair with some color so we went to Wal Mart, found the color she liked and went back and she did it to my hair, it turned out really darker than we thought the package showed but Its OK with me.
I also took a pair of jeans I had never worn because they were way to long in the legs for me to wear, one afternoon she was gone for a couple hours and took the jeans, she did the nicest job of hemming them up I've ever had, she and her sewing machine are like one, good work.
Every morning I would take Gucci out of a nice long walk and she and I enjoyed the cool morning air and seeing birds, the people come and go and just getting some air. Sometimes Moon has me feed Gucci, that is a new experience for me, when she feeds the little doggie as the spoon comes up Gucci will open her mouth, not for me so I have to use my little finger to open her mouth, but soon we are into our routine and the food is gone.
Just before the airport shuttle came to take me back to Houston Hobby airport she and I went to our favorite little place that is French in nature, has the nicest mushroom soup and breads, great cheese cake and good jam. We sit outside and Gucci is welcome, sits on her own chair and gets tiny bites of cheese cake, she is a very cute dog and when ever I have her and Moon is not around then girls, women come to pet her and say how cute she is, she is a babe magnet!!
Today has been long and hard, now I'm off to bed. Moon went to bed very early this evening, tired and recovering from accidentally picking up her hair curler, 400 degrees and giving four fingers a terrible burn so the pain pills have kept her home and sleeping today.
Her father is very ill and now her mom has become ill too, they are on her mind all the time and I ask that you pray too for Moon's parents and for Moon's finger to heal quickly.
God is good, life is an adventure and almost never boring. Today found me in Oakland, Fairfield, Walnut Creek and then Stockton. All great people, all nice properties in their own ways and a pleasure to see.
Love to all
Tim
