Believe!

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Believe! This one word means a lot to me… Believe in God  I loose sight of this once in awhile… I don’t stop believing. I stop thanking God for all my blessing.. I stop remembering who gave me what to remember and why.I know underneath I just put it away in a drawer so to speak.

,Believe in self,I loose myself allot… Last year in guidepost I found an article that told me to write down three things  and read it every day.I sometimes forget to read it even though it stares me in the face.1. Every day is better than the last 2. I will work on myself 3. Things will be better one day So easy to say and right beside my computer…

 Believe in what you do.  I try to believe every day when I think I work so hard and no one even looks at my work or I can’t get what I want to work.. When I get help and it still does not do what I think I want it to..

Believe that today will be better than yesterday. Believe my online store and blog will do good today. Believe that someone will show me the way.Believe that I can find the way on my own. Just Believe anything is possible.  Believe that the grass is not greener on the other side

What do you believe?????????????

The  Promise of Christmas by Tara Taylor Quinn                                             ISBN 0373713096          Three are good secrets -and bad ones

Leslie Sanderson’s brother, Cal, is dead-and he’s left  behind two children no one knew he had.  She and Kip Webster, Cal’s closest friend,”inherit” these secret kids.

As they form their makeshift family, Leslie and Kip decide to share a house.   And that leads to other kinds of sharing… One night, just before Christmas, Leslie tells him about the devastating thing that  happened when she was young-something she’s kept secret all this time.

Because in Kip, she finds the promise of safety, acceptance and love. The promise of what family should be. The promise of Christmas.

A Stranger’s Game by Joan Johnston   New Paperback                  ISBN978743454391

FBI Special Agent Breed Grayhawk  has the hottest sex in his life with a stranger,only to discover the next morning that she’s a convicted double murderer who broke her parole and disappeared.  Now she’s his prime suspect in a terrorist threat against the U.S. president .

Ten years ago.  Grace Caldwell was framed for the murder of her father and stepmother.  Determined to make the true killer pay, she burgles a suspects home and nets a surprising haul a hot pink, silk covered diary that records a sex-addicted wife’s adventures…and hints that grace’s target may be a serial killer.  But the theft has been caught on tape, and the man she’s been chasing now becomes the hunter.

With just five days until the presdient visits Austin,Texas, the last thing the FBI needs is a serial killer on the prowl…and an alleged terrorist determined to clear her name.  As the clock ticks down. Agent Grayhawk is racing time to discover the truth about his dangerous lover.

Why?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Why have so many people found my blog and store this week. When no one looked at it in the past weeks.. Why has no one bought a book at the really low prices that I offer… Not even a question has been asked…Why am I up so late or early worrying about it… Why do I like this word Why?Why is a word that never gets answered on my blogs as no one ever stays long enough to make a comment..(excluding the few who have).  Maybe everyone came by to see my redecorating… LOL… I know why I write this blog… 1. my daughter made it for me to see if it would help bring people to my bookstore  http://tinyurl.com/olyuny  2. I wanted to write about my books that I read and bring people to my stores  http://tinyurl.com/olyuny or http://tinyurl.com/mud5bo 

What ever the Why is I hope it keeps up…Thanks for stopping by and come again with a friend in tow…

shotglassheaven

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Whats that you say… Well its one of my names on Twitter,Its one of the names on my email, and its the name of one of my online stores.

Shot Glass Heaven   catchy name don’t you think?  I own over 1300 shot glasses that I have collected over the last 30 some years… Started as a hobby because of the size of the glass and the price. It was small and low. at the time… Sense then they have come in all kinds of shapes and prices..

When we moved to our new home here in LC a few years ago.. I decided I did not want my shelves up so there was no room for the glasses to be displayed so 13 boxes have been in the garage ever sense… I gave some to my granddaughter with a small shelf I had. I have sold some.. a couple got broke in moving.. I sold some on eBay last year..

When I opened my bookstore this year on eCRATER decided to open a shot glass store also…. This is where the name shotglassheaven comes in.

These are already listed in store

These are already listed in store

I only have 6 empty shelves left So need to sell some.. at www.shotglassheaven.ecrater.com or www.readerwave.com click the shot glass symbol

These glasses and some others have to have pictures taken and placed on website

It even rained while we were there.. This place is beside the Florida Museum of Natural History… So worth seeing.. You go though this door and wait for it to close then go through another door and there are fans going blowing air out so the butterfly’s don’t come in…They are everywhere and every kind you can think of… They fly with out fright and they land on you I had one on my hand.. it was so cute and and another man had one on his shoulder…The plants are beautiful. Husband came home wishing we had space to make one… You can’t describe how beautiful it was you have to go there…And we will be taking all our visitors there for sure….

Book Store

Friday, July 24th, 2009

eCRATER is a little known place, where I can enter all my books for free, pay nothing to them when I sell books, or other items.  Then its also a place where you don’t have to pay allot when you buy…. I only charge 00.45 to 2.00 for used books… depending on shape they are in and size.  I have Harlequin which I can not sell on Ebay or Amazon as I would have to charge over a 1.00  Both these other stores charge huge fee’s which like any other business I would pass on to you so I could make money. I have a book in both these stores and I also have it in eCrater… You can see the difference in pricing… Check out “Waiting for Agnes by Joe Bullard.. its a new personally autographed book about the Coral Castle in Homestead,Fl. Its the only book I have been selling for awhile… People are not checking out my eCRATER store even though its easy to look at and over 1200 items in it. New and Used Books, audio,LARGE PRINT,Cd’s, collectibles, stuffed animals, flip flops (homemade decorated) We also have a big collection of Nora Roberts, and Debbie Macomber, Diana Palmer,James Patterson,and many more. We have over 120 named authors as well as ones in sections of Romance, Mystery,Fantasy,Religion and more.  We offer you two ways to buy… Papal and money order, with paypal its harder to offer you a shipping discount. But if you trust us..we will send you a refund after we process your order.  With money order we will send you the right bill before you send it… What we offer is When you buy more than one book first or most expenxive is shipping  full price and everyone after is 1.00  … Another deal is if you buy 4 or more books you get one free.. You email us with the choice and we take it off line for you… It must be one of the same or lesser value.

I hope we have answered all questions if not make a comment or email us at readerwave@bellsouth.net   our store is at http://tinyurl.com/olyuny  or www.readerwave.ecrater.com   

You can follow us on twitter or here on our blog if you have something you would like to know about let us know.. we are open to new idea’s we try to follow blog hops… or we might lead you back to another blog that we though was great… Become a regular follower… We’d love to have you on board.. It gets lonely here by ourselves…Come back often and we love comments.

Dudley Farm Historic State Park

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Store where they sell homemade rag rugs, jams and jellys quilts etc

Store where they sell homemade rag rugs, jams and jellys quilts etc

We just found this place.. And its in our back yard so to speak. The browser says (A one of a kind authentic 19th century working farm) the real Florida..  It was so much fun.. when we got there the ladies were in the flower garden.  They had a peach tree that they were harvesting the peaches to can..The flowers were just beautiful

It says..The Dudley landscape is typical of the early Florida Farm with gardens, grape arbors, pecan and fruit trees, pastures, pinewoods, and croplands of peanuts, field peas, Sweet potatoes, and sugar cane.  It is a native habitat for animals such as deer, wild turkey, gopher, tortoises, bats and bluebirds.

In the mid 1800′s Dudley Farm consisted of rolling land covered with longleaf pine and wiregrass.  The longleaf pines provided material for all the Dudley buildings, fence posts, and split rail fences

Ponds, sinkholes, and an extensive network of cave passages permeate the area.  The rich organic soil with a clay and limestone substructure, coupled with the Florida climate, create an area well suited for agricultural use.(the last three paragraphs I copied form the liture they gave us while there.. It has a map and directions of the area…)

Dudley Farm Historic State Park, 18730 W.Newberry Road,Newberry,Fl 32669   (352) 472-1142

Open 9am to 5pm Farmstead closes at 4pm Closed Monday and Tuesdays

You can go on line to find more Florida State Parks at www.FloridaStateParks.org  or call (850)488-9872
