timmothy n timm: Engraved
- 11/08/24 12:33 PM
I've always enjoyed engraved gifts given to me. At one time my daughter, Tina, worked at a Christian Bookstore that did engraving and other personalized stamping. It was fun to see what she would come up with next. Of course there are thing that we don't always think of when we hear the word engraved like: Something else that is engraved is a Buyers name in history. Think of all that paperwork we assist with like abstracts. If you live in an abstract State you can look back at the written history of the dirt your home is on and that includes all who

timmothy n timm: Moving, Fast, Deliberate & Some Times Scary
- 11/07/24 01:54 PM
I witnessed that scenario yesterday, Moving, Fast, Deliberate & Some Times Scary. Only thing was it was my friend Teddy who moved. As you can see by the yellow straps, I took these photos shortly after Teddy moved about 100 yards from where he proudly lived for at least 50 years. His old home was in the center of Roosevelt Park and his new home is at the South entrance to the park as well as in front of the Roosevelt Park Zoo. This is a good location as it can easily be seen from Minot's main East/West artery. Still, his old home was

timmothy n timm: Regretfully In My Case It Usually Is NOT Catsup
- 11/06/24 06:40 AM
If you were a fan of the TV show "Tool Time" staring Tim Allen you remember the long standing joke about his many trips to the emergency room/hospital or doctor. I live in a small city of 50,000 people with one hospital. Regretfully about two dozen health professionals recognize me at a glance plus most of the emergency room personnel know me by name (wish it was the "Cheers Bar" and not the emergency room). Two things that sent me to the ER in the last 6 months were a dog bite and being slammed to the pavement by a gate that was forced

timmothy n timm: We Need Each Other
- 11/01/24 12:31 PM
The sentiments expressed above hold true for many relationships in our lives, especially family and pets. Last week I acquired 5 more mouths to feed. It's been a couple of decades since I've had an aquarium of fish and in fact this one was/is Timmothy's but he wasn't using it so I decided to purchase 5 guppies (two male, three female) and stock the little tank. The tank above is not the one we own but it is identical to it. I believe that an aquarium is a beautiful decoration as long as it is maintained well. I do enjoy watching the fish and the

timmothy n timm: Apple Pie, What Smells Better?
- 11/01/24 11:28 AM
My wife baked an Apple pie recently and I'm sure that is why Timmothy wrote the cartoon above. What smells better? I know what doesn't smell better or even as good, apple pie scented air fresheners. Let me ask you, have you ever been fooled by an air freshener? I am absolutely positive I have NOT been fooled. With that in mind why do Sellers think anyone is going to be fooled by an air freshener of any scent at all. Nothing is better then the scent of fresh air (yes I am aware there are even air fresheners that imitate that).

timmothy n timm: Leaves, Leaves Go Away, Come Back Green Someday
- 11/01/24 08:12 AM
I can't say that I've ever seen leaves sticking to the wall with the exception of Oshibana which is an art form one of our guest artists uses to create wall art.
The artist is Shayna Rodriquez, a young Navaho Native American lady from NM who moved here last year when her father took a job in the ND oil field. Changing the subject slightly there is a section of sidewalk at the zoo I love that looks like this: Now, as the title of my blog states, I wish the leaves in my yard would go away. It is always such a joy

timmothy n timm: The Base Newspaper
- 10/31/24 01:28 PM
The Titus & Philemon Art Gallery is very appreciative of the base newspaper, The NorthernSentry. You can view it on line and subscribe by clicking on the graphic below. You can read about National news concerning the United States Air Force, Local news concerning the Minot Air Force Base, and human interest stories about local Air Men/Women. I want to encourage you to take a look and see what our sons and daughters are doing for our GREAT Nation. BTW you will also see what Titus and Philemon are up to as they are proudly published in The NorthernSentry.

timmothy n timm: I Am A Home Body.
- 10/31/24 11:31 AM
Some people love to travel, some people love being at home. While I "get" enjoying seeing the world I am just fine with my world being Home and maybe a 50 mile radius there of. I admit that doesn't seem very adventurous but I believe if I wanted to explore every square mile of that radius I would be surprised of all that space holds for me. I will, of course, travel out side of that radius to visit family and friends in Denver, Omaha, Milwaukee, Atlantic City, Chandler, and hopefully Charlotte NC. I will most likely travel by train or like Titus, by

timmothy n timm: More Titus & Philemon Halloween Cartoons
- 10/31/24 08:50 AM
I am still trying to keep up so here are some comics by Timmothy N. Timm I did not get posted earlier. In regards to the first strip real spiders still give me the creeps. I have gotten enough nerve to step on or even smack one on the wall with my hand BUT in the case of those black ones creeping on the floor larger than a quarter I'm going to find a weapon of some sorts. In regards to the second strip I don't believe I've ever had that problem (with candy) but maybe with Birthday cake. 😊

timmothy n timm: Fall and Frosty Weather are good Reminders...
- 10/31/24 07:08 AM
Yesterday morning was the first day that Jack Frost painted my windshield this season. I am back to running out to the car 10 minutes before leaving (my remote start is not working) and turning on the defrosters and the seat heater. Then running back into the warm house brush my teeth and kiss my bride goodbye for the work day. The Yukon has more little things wrong with it then are worth fixing BUT it still runs well and is the only vehicle I own that can pull my camper so it's going to be around until it totally dies. It is

timmothy n timm: Happy Halloween Endings To You
- 10/31/24 06:10 AM
Let's hope and pray for a safe Halloween day and evening for our children today. Despite all the evil out there every day our children have "sweet dreams" about this day looking forward to showing off their costumes and collecting candy. I didn't have any pics of my kids handy to use for the post so here is one of Tina in the play THE ADAMS FAMILY when she was in high school. Ironically she is the one in a brides costume, ironic as she was a Bride just two weeks ago. Halloween is a scary time for parents with young children

timmothy n timm: Two for One Today
- 10/30/24 07:29 AM
Because I've gotten so far behind on my blogging and because these two cartoons are Halloween related I'm going with two for one today. I love the featured image above, it's Timmothy at his best in my opinion. Now the 2nd strip. Both cartoon strips are an easy tie-in to Real Estate, be who you are and don't try to be someone/thing else. Of course in the second strip Joe didn't intend to be a ghost but that is how he appeared. That being said I wrote a post years ago about dressing the part of a Realtor. I always wore a suit and

timmothy n timm: It's Coming and It's Coming Fast!
- 10/28/24 11:19 AM
I'm talking about Halloween of course. In a way it has caught me off guard. It has been warmer than usual this fall so I have not had to deal with the usual panic associated with the first snow fall. I bought two pumpkins for carving about two weeks ago and still have not designed or carved them. The one Fall chore I have kept up with (thanks to Timmothy) is raking leaves. Another chore I have done was to disconnect the hoses and put them in the yard shed but I still need to rearrange some things in the yard before a

timmothy n timm: Let The Invasion Begin
- 10/24/24 12:43 PM
Timmothy and I purchased our pumpkins last week. We have not painted faces on them but will most likely carve them on Halloween Eve. In general we keep them pretty simple. We believe that pumpkins and costumes are best when intended to be viewed by little children. I miss the days of throngs of children would come to our door for treats. Now a days we are lucky to see one or two. We still purchase enough candy to treat 30 kids but I'm the one who usually ends up eating the candy, thus Carol buys Heath bars as they are my

timmothy n timm: Jump!
- 10/22/24 01:15 PM
This is an easy cartoon to relate to Real Estate. When a Buyer decides to pull the trigger on a home purchase they feel they "Jumped" right in. Then there is the wait for the offer to be accepted. AND then there is the wait for the final okay from the bank, and then the appraisal, and then the home inspection, and then the title. Like Philemon they are thinking "we jumped, we want it NOW!" I had to throw this in although it's not real fitting. While all that waiting may discourage some Buyers I never had anyone back out during this time

timmothy n timm: And Here Is One More
- 10/21/24 01:27 PM
Okay, add this one to the series I posted earlier... geesh, I thought the story was over. I do like this addition as the message is to be content with what we have and don't covet the wealth/good fortune of others. We are all familiar with "Keeping Up With The Jones". All to often those who do live beyond their means, trying to keep up (Coveting) with the Jones's, end up in a total disaster. The best advice on what you can afford for the purchase of a home is going to come from your banker. Your Banker knows what you can afford. Spending

timmothy n timm: Running In Circles
- 10/15/24 01:52 PM
I can relate to Titus... I wonder if Timmothy wrote this with me in mind? I can wake up, get out of bed, shower and shave, eat breakfast, and then go take a half hour nap. Fact is I do it often. The cartoon reminded me of a dog chasing it's tail so I went to find footage on YouTude. Here is a 30 second clip of a man pretending to wind up his dog by the tail. Okay, there is NOTHING I do that fast. Real Estate application. Have you ever worked with a salesperson in any field that rushed you along? Have you

timmothy n timm: Miracles Happen
- 10/15/24 12:51 PM
Titus and Philemon's plan didn't quite work out as they planned. I didn't quite get these strips in the correct order either. They should have run in the following order.
I'm not sure how I got off track but at least now the story should make sense to us all.

timmothy n timm: There is Beauty to Behold in North Dakota.
- 10/15/24 12:20 PM
I am a firm believer that beauty is all around us no matter where you live. I have also stated that God is the greatest artist of all and man's art is just an imitation of God's. Even in a very urban setting like where my office is in downtown Minot there is great beauty Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall. To make my point I just snapped these pictures on the block, my side of the street, of my office. Amazingly enough we have not yet had a "killer" frost yet. That is highly unusual for this time of year in

timmothy n timm: Real Estate and Nutrition
- 10/15/24 08:52 AM
This cartoon is NOT an easy tie into Real Estate. Timmothy created it after reading an article in The Northern Sentry, MAFB's official news paper a paper Timmothy is published in. The title of the article is :Fuel for the Mission: Fruits, Vegetables, and Fiber. It is put together by AFMS-MINOT-5TH MEDICAL GROUP. The article is too lengthy for me to print but it is full of excellent advice. My lame tie in to Real Estate is going to be to advise you to think about the meal you prepare for yourself before hosting an open house. During the month of October it is
