Round up

Dear Family and Friends,
Just back from an enjoyable dinner with Nikki, Keanna and Kallie at Olive Garden in Tracy. After they completed a bit of trick or treat activity over at Kevin's house they were hungry. It was a nice calm moment to unwind.
This has been a pretty good week. Last Sunday was the walk for GIST research in San Jose, then appraisal inspections for the next four days. Meanwhile Sylvia was making huge inroads into the contents of the kitchen cabinets. This afternoon I had the distinct joy of carrying several bags full of food items to Patty's car. She said they could use it all. No wonder. She is the caretaker of 5 children who all have huge appetites. What a privilege to give a tiny helping hand to such a courageous lady. Nan would have been very pleased as I am. Thank you Sylvia for making this happen.
It has been quite a week financially. I've been chasing money all week to try to cover bills and so far everything is covered, well that is except for the little matter of the house payment and I'm on my way to getting that covered as well. The Lord has been very merciful to me this week as work related bills kept popping up and yet each day new orders would be called or faxed in and most were COD. I certainly would not want to live my entire life this close to the precipice for for now this is where I am and I'm not going to run away. In spite of the worse downturn in property values, high foreclosures rates and unease in the lending industry I am still afloat and in business.
There are so many things to be thankful for, events, people, special moments. Life is really quite challenging, almost never boring and full of opportunities.
Tonight I am worn out and really ready to sleep. While I feed candy to the masses knocking at the door tonight I was on the phone with Sharon in Texas. She too was glad the week was over and it was good to catch up with how she is doing which is fine. She has started bible studies in her home for a group of ladies and the first week was a great success. Nice going Sharon.

So good night my friends and family,

love
tim

Good Morning Tim,

This rain is a welcome sight , how We do need it!

We had a very calm Haloween at Our place. Lights out and We watched a good Movie in the back bedroom. Crowds of Kids were gone by 9:00 so then things got back to normal.

Carrol's Clinic Day is Tuesday 4th and We are anxious about test results and what the Dr has to say about resuming treatment or not at this time.

We have a Funeral to attend today at 3:00 at the Buddist Church. A dear friend from the Loel Center passed away suddenly at 94. He was the picture of Health & Vigor when We last saw Him a week ago but failed to show up for lunch on Monday and they found Him in His favorite Chair the next Day, Great way to go but not easy for Family & Friends.

Have a good Sabbath day and We hope to see You soon,

Bob & Carrol.

Going to the gym and losing a nominal amount of weight.
Do you have a certain stereotype about the type of person who really appreciates
being present for the people in her life.
