MBA tonight





Dear Family and Friends,

After an uneventful day I arrived this afternoon about 4:30 here at MBA. The weather is perfect and just now I'm back in the motorhome after spending the evening with Jason. He was on duty tonight and so we attended vespers and then the afterglow with a huge bonfire, hot chocolate and the fun of watching the kids enjoy their time together. Unfortunately someone backed into Jason's car putting a pretty serious dent in the fender but they left a phone number and tomorrow Jason will get their insurance info.

When I arrived Timothy was going about full steam in the house. He does not walk, he runs, talks, pushes buttons, explores the trash and plays with his toys. He is a blast to watch and hold. What a precious little guy. Jo was glad to be home from teaching and we had a few minutes to observe Timothy go go go before Jason had to leave for supervision this evening.

I started the day by NOT walking. I drifted out of bed about 7 and worked loading the motorhome and then clearing my desk. I enjoyed son Steven coming by for a minute. The dogs and cats seem drawn to him when he comes in, they love to have his attention. Later this morning he was coming back to move the big screen TV that is about 20 years old to a friends house since I am enjoying Steve and Nikkis TV which they passed on to me.

As I left town I took care of a few errands, failed to get the meds I needed at Longs so will just have to get by without them. The heart specialist won't renew one perscription until I see him and he won't see me until I clear up the bill so I guess I won't be using that drug anymore. Oh well I seem to be taking enough meds as it is.

It felt good to put fuel into the motorhome today at this lower cost per gallon. This trip for the weekend will be more like $40 to $50 instead of the $75 plus that the last trip cost. I do enjoy having my own space so I don't have to impose on Jason and Jo's space 24 hours a day. This way I can get the dogs out of the house for a trip too and they really do love the adventure.

More orders have come in today after I left and it looks like a very good week is lining up work wise. I am very thankful for God's blessings in so many surprising ways this week. Deeply thankful.

So I bid you good evening or morning from MBA, Monterey Bay Academy which is located at LaSelva Beach on the Monterey Bay. I can hear the surf from the motorhome and can watch the ocean from the yard where I am parked.

Watch out for God's blessings this weekend, they come through people, nature, music, family, insights out of the blue. We are not alone, He cares for each of us.

love to all,


Tim

Hi Tim,

Glad You had a safe trip to the Coast. We remember many fun times there with Family & Friends at Sunset Beach. How We did enjoy the fresh Brussel Sprouts from time to time.

Choir Practice went well last evening and We will be singing 3 numbers on Sabbath the 22nd at the Fairmont 11;00 o'clock Service. Then We are off to Palm Springs to spend the Thanksgiving Week with My Sister Patty & Her Family. They have a New Grand Daughter that We are anxious to meet. She will be 3 months Old the 1st of Dec.

God Bless & Have a Great Sabbath day,

Bob & Carrol.
