Keanna gets an award

Dear Family and Friends,

Today has been a cooler day so less AC, less money wasted to PG&E. I walked with Ken this morning, then a quick shower and then research and on the road to Hayward. REO property which has not sold yet. Then a quick trip back to pick up Keanna from school, afternoon snack at Aladinos, a local pizza parlor where she played some video games, boy that takes me back to a time when her mother and uncle would beg for quarters so they could play video games in the same place, only it was Strawhat Pizza then.

Keanna and I came home to find Loree hard at work. Keanna set to work at "her" desk in the lower office and bugged Loree with questions about her girls and the horses pictured on the walls around her desk. Later as I was working I heard a very loud chirping. Well Moomoo had caught a bird and had it in the house. So Loree and Keanna came to the rescue and we called the bird whisperer, Lois. She came and took the bird home where it flew into the water and was rescued by its parents (we hope).

This evening at 6 there was a picnic at Keanna's school and afterwards an awards session. Each child was given an award which described what they are like in the classroom. When it came time for Keanna her award was for "the damsel in distress". Seems she is very good at getting other kids to come to her aid when there is work to do or a mess to pick up. I've included a few photos, one of the bird and the rest of Keanna at the event.

I think Suzie got to go home this afternoon at least that was what she told me on a call as I was driving back from Hayward. She was surprised to learn it was so soon.

Please keep our precious GIST friend Irene in your prayers. Her battle is a very real one right now against the tumors and she needs our support. She is a very brave and faithful woman but that does not mean she is above fear and concern.

Good night my friends and family,

love to all

Tim
