I am a little late with this blog this week, sorry.

It is spring and of course I catch a cold, but I will get through it with flying colors. I even missed going to church Sunday. I did pick up some medicine today but not for the cold. I take a lot of pills and the doctors say I need all of them. Oh well, if I want to see all my grandkids graduate from school I just have to hang in there. Lets see, the oldest one is in college and wants to become a doctor and the youngest one is 2 1/2 yrs old. I think I better find the fountain of youth. Anybody know were it is at?
I have copies of my second book---"Afraid to Read the Bible?"---and the only thing I was not real happy with is the size of print. It is okay, but for older people I think the print could be a little bigger, but that is just my opinion.
Tomorrow is my day to cook for the week, and I think I will make sticky chicken thighs over rice with brocoly using chicken stock in the rice instead of water. brush the chicken with soy sauce and then sprinkle some brown sugar on it and the bake it. Serve over the rice.
Then I think I will do a chicken breasts rolled in corn flake crumbs and make sweet potatoes with that.
Then I will do a couple of hamburgers and bought some new buns for that which are called whole wheat sandwich thins and are supposed to be only 100 calories each. Lets see, maybe some jello with a banana in it. and of course I have to have some vegy's. This way all my cooking is done and I do not have to cook every day, just throw it on a plate and heat it up in the microwave. Nice and easy and fast.
If you are interested in my second book---"Afraid to Read the Bible?"
you can go to publishamerica.net and that takes you right to the bookstore. Good time to buy as they have all softcovers on sale for two days only. You will just have to check as they do cross out the price and put the sale price up.
Well I have to take the dog outside and then get ready for bed. Have a good night and always remember the Lord.---------I do have a question for you. What is the name of the books taken out of the Bible that are considered not trustworthy??? Just one word. I will tell you the answer the next time or you can ask your pastor. Goodnight

My day of rest, I quess

I suppose I had to take a day of rest today and took a good nap tell the telephone rang. I have been pushing myself of late and have been doing a lot of things I normally do not do. I did get my condo clean though, which was a job, (I hate cleaning) and I still have to finish the kitchen but not until They put in new gaskets under the sink,
With my health problems (which has improved greatly) and all the medicines I am on, I think I could take a nap every day and did for a long time. Now I just wait tell my body says "thats it, nap tome", then I colapse.
We had our Lenten dinner again yesterday evening (Wed) then watched a DVD and then had class. It is an easy course for me to teach, as long as I can keep the people answering questions about the DVD. I did mention it in one of my blogs a couple of weeks ago. Last week we had breakfast for supper, and this week we had roast beef with potatoes and carrots and a tossed salad and all kinds of desert. Of course I ate way to much, but it is better than my cooking. Which reminds me I had better get supper going soon for tonight. How does turkey burgers wrapped in bacon with tomatoe and onion slices and other condomints sound, along with some hash brown potatoes, peas with pearl onions and cottage cheese and pear slices sound.
Sounds good to me.
It rained here most of the morning and then the sun came out but it looks like it could start raining again soon, so I better get the dog outside before it does rain. Poor little guy just does not like to get wet. He really is not too big and not too small and weighs 22 lbs. He is the largest Shi Tzu that I have owned and I think the smartest one I have owned. Well it is getting time to go eat, have a great day for yourself tommorow, and enjoy life as it is too short.
Take care and until the next time, how do the say it in Hawaii, ALOHA.
Just remember to say your prayers tonight for all your blessings and always have the Lord on your mind and in your hearts.
Remember this from the Bible; Whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.----2nd Corinthians 3:16

Goodnight---Grampa Ed

My second book

I said earlier that I had another book going to the printer and it is printed already and I was notified yesterday March 8th,2010 that it was finished. I have not seen the finished book as of yet, but it is supposed to be on the way to my condo.
I must say that this company is really fast at what they do. It seemed like yesterday I sent them the manuscript. Hope you do not mind me crowing a little over it, but at seventy five you do not crow a lot over things pertaining to yourself.Now if I can get my agent to find some publisher to buy the third book I would be very happy. I can see a publisher thinking twice on it as it is Christian but is "XX" rated because of some sexual content.
I suppose I sould tell you the title of the book that just got printed which is---"Afraid to Read the Bible?" by Grampa Ed and the publisher is Publish America. To find them on the internet go to www.publishamerica.com. Best way to find the book, go to bookstore, go to bottom of page and you will see a search bar. Click on it then use the backspace tab to clear the word search, then type in the title and click on go. I guess I better get ready to eat supper so I can get some other items done today as tommorrow is a very busy day again.
