These Starter Questions may help you write some of your memories for your history.

Some will only be a few paragraphs long, but all together they will add up to sharing family history.

• First Home- where was it? What kind of neighborhood do you remember? Were there many kids for you to play with? What games did you play? Did you play in one another’s house, or did you play outdoors? Did you have your own room, or did you share a room?
• Picnics – Did you have family picnics? Is there a special park you love and remember?
• Fourth of July – How did you celebrate the 4^th as a child and when you celebrate now as an adult? What does the 4^th mean to you?
• W.W.II – How did your family handle rationing? Did you raise food and save recyclable materials?
• Television – Who was the first in your neighborhood to get a TV? What were your favorite programs when you did get one? Was it color or black and white?

This book can help you prepare and share your family history. Each method listed is treated with how to examples, and explanations. On my blog you will find pieces of my books, as well as humor, poetry and whatever. I post new material once a week. Google: http://www.ed-reinagel-writer.blogspot.com/

This post is late because our children, who are no longer children, sent my newly retired wife and me on a cruse to Cabo San Lukas and Ensenada for 5 days of relaxed pleasure. Our daughter Carrie came to our home to care for Mary Grace, our special lady. Her brother and his wife came as well as another sister Dorothy. They also had a great time together.

Some funny signs:

In a Podiatrist's office: "Time wounds all heels."

On a Septic Tank Truck: Yesterday's Meals on Wheels

At a Proctologist's door: "To expedite your visit, please back in."

On a Plumber's truck: "We repair what your husband fixed."

On another Plumber's truck: "Don't sleep with a drip. Call your plumber."

On a Church's Bill board: "7 days without God makes one weak."

Until next time, God bless.

Ed’s BLOG ENTRIES BY DATE October 5, 2009

We are going on a trip this week so there will be no new postings for two weeks after this post.

My wife just retired and our children are paying for a cruse to Mexico.

This past weekend I uploaded the two books I’ve been sharing note about. Pump Up Your Prayer Life and Eight Ways to Share Your Family History. You should be able to find them on my page in Lulu.com.

These Starter Questions may help you write some of YOUR HISTORY memories.

Some will only be a few paragraphs long, but all together they will add up to sharing family history.

· First Home- where was it? What kind of neighborhood do you remember? Were there many kids for you to play with? What games did you play? Did you play in one another’s house, or did you play outdoors? Did you have your own room, or did you share a room?

· Picnics – Did you have family picnics? Is there a special park you love and remember?

· Fourth of July – How did you celebrate the 4^th as a child and when you celebrate now as an adult? What does the 4^th mean to you?

· W.W.II – How did your family handle rationing? Did you raise food and save recyclable materials?

· Television – Who was the first in your neighborhood to get a TV? What were your favorite programs when you did get one? Was it color or black and white?

· How did you meet your spouse? Where did you go on your honeymoon?

· How did your mom and dad meet? Christmas –What is your best memory of Christmas at any age?

· How was your first Christmas after you married?

· Family Religious Rituals – What did you do in you parents’ home and in your own home after you married?

This should give you an idea of how the book can help you prepare and share your family history. Each method listed is treated with how to examples, and explanations.

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.

TIRES: Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated.
