Welcome to our new year,
Thanks for stopping at my site,
I’m a year older and maybe a little smarter. We had a lovely Thanksgiving in San Diego with many of the family. Our eldest, Pete and Nona are gracious hosts.
Christmas we had our son Andrew and his bride June for a few days.
New Years eve we stayed alone and cuddled watching the New Year in.
We pray you have a good start to your best year ever.

Humor time:
Johnny, your teacher called and said you interrupted the class with bad behavior; you need to stop that today.
Í can’t stop now.”
“Why?”
“Because the teacher told me if I keep behaving this way, I’ll go down in history.”

What would you have if you ran over a bird with a lawn mower?
Shredded tweet.

The math teacher took Johnnie’s rubber bands away saying, “They are weapons of math destruction.”

You can purchase my books from me for $9, shipping included. Write me at ednabd33@gmail.com. Put Pump Up, or Eight Ways, in the subject so I know it’s safe to open.

God bless you,
Ed

A belated hello,

I’ve spent many frustrating days trying to figure our how to put different headings on each chapter of my new book. Two people suggested I try Openoffice.com. I did and still am flummoxed. Microsoft word is not working for me in that effort.
I haven’t given up yet.

There is good news even though it’s only half of what I hoped for. My book, “Eight Ways to Share Your Family History,” is now available on Amazon. I await an answer about why “Pump Up Your Prayer Life” is not there as well. It should be in due time. However you can buy either book from me for $10, shipping included. Send your request to my E-mail: ednabd33@gmail.com. In the header please put Pump Up, or History book, so I feel safe opening mail from unknown persons.

Sorry I’ve not written until now. Welcome to my world,

All three of us were sick last week and in spite of that we finished processing 56 pints of spaghetti sauce and 40 pints of chopped tomatoes. We went back in time to home canning to know what is in our food and to have a supply stocked up.

Even through being feverish, we were thankful to God for the strength to fulfill all our responsibilities. There is always something to be thankful for, no matter what. When you, “Pump Up Your Prayer Life,” you find more ways to thank God every day.

I am closing in on finishing my next book. All but two chapters are formatted and those chapters are coming along well. As said before, the working title is Prepare Here for the Hereafter.

Humor time;

Good after noon one and one,

Thanks for stopping by.

This weekend has been busy and fruitful. That is; Friday we canned and processed, in the oven, 20 pints of tomato spaghetti sauce. It went surprisingly easy. That took 25 pounds of tomatoes. Saturday we did 11 pints of cut tomatoes, so we have a good start on a home made supply. That took another 15 pounds. Next weekend we aim to buy another 50 pounds of tomatoes and can some sauce and some cut. The aim is for a pint per week of consumption. Then I hope to process a Fusion type juice because Mary Grace uses a bottle a week to get her veggies and fruit consumption in her diet.

When I remember back, having six to eight children and two adults, I remember us processing hundreds of quarts a year. Whew! This seems like nothing. Of course then we had child labor. Thank goodness the law didn’t catch us making our children help.

I have both books proofed and ordered with the ISBN number. Soon you can check Amazon and E-books for copies. I still will sent them to you for $10. To order a book, write me at ednabd33@gmail.com. So I know what you want and feel safe opening you request, put Pump Up, or Eight Ways, in the subject line.

Just grin and bare it, Ed

Welcome to my blog. Thanks for visiting,

The other day, after I did readings at mass, a friend called and asked what chapter and verse I had read. She explained that she received a spiritual insight and wanted to read the verses further.

In my many years of church going the same thing often happened to me. I think our dear Lord gives us these insights only when we are ready to receive them. Fortunately I have been blessed with remembering those given to me and I share them and much more in my book, “Pump Up Your Prayer Life.”

You can read more of what is in my books by reading back through the pages of this blog. I suggest you especially read the August 15th blog about my getting the ISBN for my books. I will let you know the answer ASAP as I know myself. Then I will post where to buy either or both. Right now you can get them from me in the mail for $10 each. To order a book, write me at ednabd33@gmail.com. So I know what you want and feel safe opening you request, put PUMP UP,or EIGHT WAYS, in the subject line.
