Hi, Ted,

Belatedly, I'm writing to thank you for the bottle of wine you gave us for Christmas. We were gone over the Christmas holiday, and then came down with the two-week bug that seems to be going around, so by the time I was back on my feet a few things had slipped through the cracks. When I got your card last week I remembered that I owed you a thank-you note for a fine bottle of wine.Congratulations on your impressive sales production for 2007 and being elected Treasurer of the Simi Valley/Moorpark Association of Realtors.

I trust the current situation in the housing and mortgage markets isn't hitting you too hard. I know that if anybody is prepared to

weather a down market it's you with your persistence, hard work and smart marketing. It must have been God's plan that you kept showing up and building a relationship with us so that we knew where to turn when we finally got ready to sell. If not for that, we would have dithered about for just long enough to have been caught in the current stagnation and downward price spiral. We have been so fortunate!

I hope all is well with your family. We're fine and we like living at Villa del Arroyo with the possums, rabbits, raccoons and strange birds

that sing in the dark. Well...the jury's still out on the raccoons. I surprised a large one after midnight the other night, trying to rip open the screen door to our porch (we've had it enclosed). I think it was going for the cat food. The cheeky devil ambled off pretty casually when I shouted at it.  We continue to excavate boxes, trying to whittle down the quantity of stuff in the house. I'm still working full-time and not too energetic when I get home at night so it's taking longer that I had imagined to get this place squared away. When you have the time I've love for you to introduce us to the friends you mentioned who live here at Villa del Arroyo. I'm sure it will make me green with envy to see what our house could look like given enough time and money!

John and I wish you continued success, peace and good health in 2008.

Be assured that if the opportunity arises we will recommend and refer you.
