A great day

Dear Family and Friends,
At 7 pm we drove into the garage after a very long and productive day. A day that included visits to Petaluma, Windsor, Napa and many points in between. Our return trip took us through the beautiful countryside of Sonoma with its acres of vineyards, beautiful wineries and deep blue skies. As we journeyed on Highway 12 from Fairfield to Rio Vista we passed new wind turbines that are huge and graceful in design.

My morning started with a walk with Ken in the 60 degree morning. Then a quick shower and we loaded up and hit the road. Setting the GPS to Petaluma we traveled through Martinez, then Benicia, Vallejo, across Highway 37 past the raceway and arrived nearly on time. We found an anxious seller, one who really didn't want to sell but finances forced the move. She was distraught over what to do with her beautiful Pit Bull girl. What a sweet and kind doggie, we both loved her immediately and Marilyn spend a lot of time helping her with ideas of how to locate a new home for her or how to find a new place to live where the doggie would be welcomed. Finally we pulled ourselves away, shot the comps and headed to Windsor for a quick photo attempt. Along the way Olive Garden called to us so we had lunch. After Windsor we quickly drove to Napa and found a house loaded with antiques. What a grand old gentleman. After completing the inspection of his house we headed home. Traffic was not bad but there is a great deal of road construction on 12 to make it safer.

Upon our arrival at home I discovered a check waiting, always a nice discovery. Loree came and worked the files today and things look remarkably better now. Tomorrow is another big day with plenty of work to do. Right now Marilyn is checking out Dancing with the Stars as I'm sure some of you are as well.

Today Marilyn really ministered to the lady in Petaluma and it was really beautiful to see how they connected. If I was dog less I'd bring this one home. She is really special.

Well for now I'm heading to bed. The constant headache and stiff neck continue. Every day, every night the pain is the same. Just not sure how to proceed but its getting to be sort of old and tiresome to me.

love to all,

Tim

Hi Tim & marilyn,

We just got back from Our Vacation Trip to Leavenworth Washingtion. We had beautiful weather up there and Great accomodations. Lots of good Food , Apple & Pear Harvest is in full swing up there. We enjoyed Fresh Fruit every Day.

Over 1,000 miles on Our Rental Kia Sedona Van. No Odyssey for sure!! but it did the job for the 4 of Us and Carrol's Scooter & Walker too. Her Knee is still giving Her fits, Appointment tomorrow with Knee Doc here in Lodi. Clinic day on Thursday. She made the Trip quite well and enjoyed every minute of it. Air Lines ,Southwest, did a Super job up & back. They did however manage to misplace Her Walker on the return flight to Sacramento but have located it and are sending it to Us FedEx tomorrow. We have a back up from Carrol's Home Health Days so We are doing fine on that account.

The "Blue Shuttle Van" did a wonderful job of picking Us up and returning Us to Our front Door exactly on time and very Professional Service. $140.00 round trip, Parking would have been more than that!

Tired now and ready to turn in for sure. We will talk to You soon.

Much Love & Prayers always,

Bob & Carrol.
