<span style="font-size: large;">I have enjoyed sharing photo clues with you connected to my new book, Mill Park Mystery. Even though the story is a total fiction I have been to all the places shown in the previous photo clues. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the weekend I made my kindle version of Mill Park Mystery available as a FREE download and interestingly enough 107 individuals did take advantage of the offer. The breakdown of where the individuals downloaded their free book from is as follows: 85 from Amazon/US, 14 from Amazon/UK, 6 from Amazon/DE, 1 from Amazon/JP, and 1 from Amazon/CA. I would like anyone that downloaded their free book from one of the listed locations to send me an acknowledgement indicating the city where they live.</span><br />

Bud's Books Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10242823427865396837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865648240907494827.post-35683096285610856272013-02-16T10:50:00.000-06:002013-02-16T10:50:06.849-06:00A Joyful Surprise!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I would like to relate a joyful surprise! I gave one of my books, "Back in the Day", to a daughter of my best friend and also one to her son, my friends grandson, awhile back. Even though our time of meeting for lunch was related to a sorrowful loss in their family; the two of them were laughing at situations in the book. I was bringing sunshine into their lives through sharing a historical fictional situation involving her Dad and his granddad.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since that time I have been communicating with both of them through social media where I shared pictures of her Dad, the young man's Granddad, and also a picture of my friends Granddad (who was this young man's Great-GreatGanddad). I was glad I could bring this to them and therefore have expanded our friendships.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When you write a book, have it published, and then start your distribution process; you have no clue as to how your readers are going to accept it. I didn't count on "Back in the Day" by RG Bud Phelps to be a best seller but to hear laughter from new friends while they are reading it, brought about "A Joyful Surprise" to me. If you bring an expression of joy from your readers, it is a reward you didn't expect! Have I sold a ton of books since it was introduced on Amazon? No! Have I heard special comments and expressions of joy from readers after they have read it? Yes! Has a long list of reviews appeared on Amazon from readers of "Back in the Day" by RG Bud Phelps? No, but the ones I have received have been very special to me and I thank the readers who posted them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Writers should remember this - your goal to have readers enjoy and find that reading your book brought joy to their lives - is priceless!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I ask you, the reader of this blog to read "Back in the Day" to check out why the two readers referred to above were smiling and laughing while reading it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
I have noticed that all families boast of sayings or phrases spoken by their family and passed along over the generations. My nephew Mike and his wife visited us in Lincoln and I think one of the highligths of their visit was the opportunity for Mike and I to just spend time together. We talked about growing up in Curtis and Mike remarked that he was amazed that after reading my new book, "Back in the Day", that the two of us shared very similar experiences growing up as boys (although there was 15 to 20 years difference in the time frame).<br />
<br />
We both worked for my Dad to acquire the various things boys felt they needed, me as his son and Mike as his grandson.<br />
<br />
As an example: Dad bought me a horse with the understanding that I would work at his Gamble Store to pay him back for the purchase. Dad bought Mike a horse with the understanding that he would work at his Gamble Store to pay him back for the purchase. Dad bought me my first car with the understanding that I would work at his Gamble Store to pay him back for the purchase. Dad bought Mike his first car with the understanding that he would work at his Gamble Store to pay him back for the purchase.<br />
<br />
We both did the same things in the summers between our high school years. We rode our horses over and about the hills around Curtis. We both loved to fish at both Fox Creek and Medicine Creek. We both went skinny dipping at those same creeks. We both went to dances around the area and probably drove our cars over the same gravel roads (probably faster then we should have). We both went to rodeos in Curits or North Platte on the weekends, and found that the girls were cute both in North Platte and McCook<br />
<br />
We were also sharing some of the sayings my Dad said to us during those growing up years. I am going to share some of them with you now and hopefully you can send me comments sharing common sayings your dads used while you were growing up.<br />
<br />
When Dad would get to the end of a story he was telling he would finish with, "...and everything of the kind." When you needed a haircut he would say, "Don't you think its time for a haircut, you look like Shag's pup." Or when he wanted you to get busy he might say, "You better get off your butt before I throw you away like a piece of rusty old iron." One of his gems regarding instructions for my driving was, "Keep your foot out of the carburetor." or "Slow her down, you sure do have a lead foot."<br />
<br />
I'm sure that I got another saying I use frequently with my grand kids from Dad, and it's "Boy I tell you!" My granddaughter Kalyn, who is 22, gets such a kick out of it that she now has here friends either starting with "Boy I tell you!" and ending with it.<br />
<br />
While working for him at the store he would sometimes take me out to breakfast at the Aggie Inn before we opened the store, and he would say, "We need some of those "Rib Stickin flap jacks to get a good start on the day."<br />
<br />
Think back to your growing up days, and share some of the sayings that you remember through a comment here on my blog. <br />

life series” of a boy born in Nebraska in 1932, and will cover his ten year
period from 1945 to 1955. The author

from his four years in high school, the summers in-between, and throughout his
four years in the U.S. Navy. You will
share his opportunity for adventures in both the places he visits and people he
meets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

juniors and seniors were assigned in pairs for the freshman<b> </b>initiation process, with an attempt to diversify them between
farmers, ranchers, or Curtis townspeople.
The pair (Rowdy and Dewayne) who were assigned to Johnny and I approached
us, carrying white porcelain pots (hospital bed pans). Rowdy said, “I know you’re swell little guys,
but I want you to do two things. Drop
those silly smiles off your faces immediately, then drop your pants and sit on
these pots right in from of the NSA arch.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

particular day, Sonny and I had made our way to Fox Creek, and stripped down
for a little skinny dipping! We hung our
shirts and pants on bushes, weighted down by our shoes that were stuffed with
our socks and skivvies. We were relaxing
in those natural clay bathtubs, when we heard girls’ giggly voices. The normal thing for us to do was to hunker
down as best we could in those deep holes and just wait for them to leave. The girls, getting braver, came down behind
the bushes near the creek bank, and started teasing us by saying, “What are you
guys doing?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we were given liberty into Port-au-Prince with our liberty launches landing
near the city market area where the natives were selling their wares. Poverty was everywhere you looked and the
little kids’ appearance led you to believe they hadn’t had a meal for some
time. We spotted Commander Shaw just
ahead of us in the market area talking to a little boy who was leading a donkey
with a rope halter through the area. We
got close enough to hear the conversation and Commander Shaw was offering the
little boy $20 for his donkey. The
little guy’s eyes lit up when Commander Shaw handed him the $20, and he in turn
handed the commander the rope halter attached to the donkey. He proceeded to ride his newly acquired
donkey across the market area, and when he reached the far side of the area he
dismounted. We noticed that the little
boy had been following him all the way across the square. Commander Shaw handed the rope back to the
little boy and told him, “Son, I better not try to take this donkey aboard our
ship. I’ll just give him back to you,
and here is $10 more for you to feed him, since he carried me across the
square.” The little boy’s eyes got as
big as saucers and he ran right over and hugged the commander’s leg!</span><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
