Gerry, Ray do their magic

Good evening
Gerry and I are just back from conducting an appraisal in Bethel Island and then having dinner at a tiny Mexican place with great food.
This morning Ken and I hike around the lake in very breezy cool weather. Then Gerry and I had breakfast, Gerry fixed eggs and along with sourdough toast the meal was great. Then we migrated to the front yard where we tackled two leaking sprinklers. One turned out to be a broken sprinkler body, an easy fix but the other one had a pipe separation and Ray made the mistake of wandering over and ended up on his knees doing most of the work fixing the broken pipe. Then after getting both leaks fixed we tackled the yard drain which was plugged with layers of mud. Now that drains just fine. Lois was nearby to offer supervising guidance. Ray also waded into a broken light assembly for the fish tank and took a ballast with him to have it tested. Early afternoon I hit the showers and then we made a deposit of checks on hand and had a late lunch at the Boardwalk, a little place by the boat harbor. Then we came back and I went to work setting up new orders and Gerry took a nap. Finally at 5:50 we drove out to Bethel Island to see a very nice place with a good water view and a wonderful shop. They also have a very nice stair chair and promised to let others know that my stair chair is for sale.
It has been windy all day today so the temperature stayed cool and comfortable. Tomorrow I must settle down and produce some work. Jean, writer, has been cranking out work and I need to tweak it and get it out the door.
Suzie has a biopsy in the morning in San Francisco. Donna drove down today and they are all in a hotel near the medical facility in SF tonight. She has an appointment with a surgeon connected to UCSF on Wednesday morning and important decisions will be made regarding her care. She needs us to remember her to the Lord.
Thanks for being there day after day. In this old nasty world we need each other to help make sense out of an otherwise crazy upside down world. How the Lord must long to just take His children home.
love to all
