What a Difference a Day Makes

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

Good Morning,

Today I go to the Flea Market and open my Book Store. I have a lot of projects to do today.  I hope my Knee can take it.  I am up and down in the chairs or stool as I can’t stand long with it.. I found out yesterday I will need knee replacement soon.  I guess this is the reason I have been awake on and off all night.

Well getting my dog anytime soon is out of the question a puppy for sure is out.  I would not have to take it out side to walk all the time and have it maybe pull me off my feet.  I would love a dog to walk tho.

Today one of my daughters is walking a marathon at Disney. I am so proud of her. She has lost a lot of weight in the last few months.  She has a great support system in her teenage daughters. One of them got her walking.  I need them up here…

Have a great day and week …

Bad Blog in Pain

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

What a day. Made several doctor office calls.. I had hoped when I started this process a month ago that it would be done by now and I would be ready for when the need came up.. Oh well I was wrong.  Yesterday my leg and knee started hurting and nothing seems to help it stop. I need shots.. and I have to wait two weeks to see the new doctor and then may have to have test before the real action takes place.. I hate looking for new doctors.

Weekend was good. Sunday was slow but I got a lot of work done.. I am reading a Emily March right now her newest. I like it but I am in so much pain that I keep putting it down, and getting up to walk out the stiffness.

Tomorrow is my Birthday daughter and family came up this weekend and we went to a Japanese restaurant in Gainesville Can’t member the name started with a M and it was on the same turn off I-75 as Target and across the street is Burger King with a street beside it and the restaurant is on that street.

Authors and Dogs

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

This has been some week.  I have been helping my husband find my Birthday present. No luck so far. Its a week from today. I went and sat with him on the back porch and told him not to worry I would not get upset if we did not find what I want.  We are looking for a cocker spaniel dog, fem, black,brown and white.  I would love to find one at a shelter but there are none in the area or even east coast of Florida.. Even looked in lower Georgia.  This is what I want and I am willing to wait. Have not seen anything else that I like.  I even named her B B MA after my fav author Debbie Macomber. www.debbiemacomber.com

This week I am reading new authors to me that were suggested by other authors I follow on facebook. I am known as me on facebook  Dona Hopkins West in case you want to follow. I finished KAKI  WARNER’S PIECES OF SKY waiting for the next book to come in the mail OPEN COUNTRY. Yesterday I got a email from Kaki Warner saying I have won a contest and I will be getting a signed book in the mail real soon.. How cool is that. She lives in Washington State as does my fav author Debbie Macomber  you can look her up at www.kakiwarner.com  you can follower her on facebook also. Now I am reading another new author to me SARA LUCK  readingSUSANNA’S CHOICE  both authors write about the early west.  No indians but lots of wagon trains, gold rushes and romance.

I started selling on eBay last week selling shot glasses and postcards. Did not do very well so I think today will be my last day. I can’t see not making my money back and going to all the work for not.

Hope to see you all this weekend at the Lake City Flea Market. Some of the kids and grandkids are coming up this weekend can’t wait and in a week or two some more.

Happy Birthday Dad we miss you so much. Think of you and Mother often.

Hubby just came in with the mail my book I ordered OPEN COUNTRY BY KAKI WARNER just came. I got a birthday card from my far away daughter and a doctor reminder.. I made it on my Birthday so I can have lunch in Gainsville. So the day is shaping up.

Have a great weekend my friends and I hope someone reads and likes this blog.
