Washington’s Birthday

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

DSCN1015I am so sad.. I had planned all these things to do in my head… Small town got in the way again.. LOL.  Our Bargin store is closed on Mondays, I think the Post Office and Banks are closed today. Where I get my hair cut is closed on Mondays..and that also means more Copys of Waiting for Agnes will have to wait till tomorrow as its Monday day off…

Book Store at Flee Market went very well I had lots of new customers and lots of repeats with trades.. And this reminds me I need to make a new sign for the new books.. People are trying to use them with trades and thats a no no… Or i just might take a loss and put them in with the other books and use that book case for other things i need that will end up bringing me more money as I am sitting on the new ones.. Have not sold one… I am in the thinking stage of this one. Feed back would be nice..

I am looking for Christian Romance and Westerns.. for local Lake City People I will contact you and we will deal… Sorry to anyone who is looking for my online store I don’t have one anymore. I am doing so well at the flee market that I don’t sell any thing but my local author book Waiting for Agnes… and you can find that at www.readerwave.ecrater.com or www.ebay.com

Have a great day. tell someone you love them.. or like them alot.

What a year this has started out to be. January brought the death of my Mother. February just a month later my birthday and I was sick as a dog all week… And its just the second week of the month. We are on the East Coast luckily we are not up north.. we have no snow.. But we are in Florida and my yard looks like Lake West as we call it every spring.  It has rained steady sense midnight last night.  Of course as I mentioned I have been sick all week and its suppose to be very cold this weekend so my flee market store will be closed.  I can’t take the chance of getting sicker.  I made the grocery list and hubby went to grocery store.  I did get the clothes out of dryer from Monday and put a new load of wash in washer and they made it to the dryer today and now are ready to come out.  The one good thing about all this sickness I have lost 7 or 8 lbs… But the terrible thing is I got sick before we got to South Florida to have birthday celebration with grandson.  I am so sorry GW… we love you very much.  I did finish a book I started several weeks ago… I have been thinking about working on Mothers doll collection.. I need to find out what it or they are worth and what I want to do about it.  I took one of her chairs to the flee market sense my booth is inside I can have it there.. and be more comfortable.  I have decided to keep her thimble collection I did send one to a friend of Mothers who asked for one. It had her name on it.. It came that way.. I know as I bought for her.  I am missing working as I had Friday all worked out in my head.. Now I have to wait for next Friday and hope the weather is better…Thanks everyone for all the kindness you have shown us in the past month..

If you have not know or noticed I have closed my on line book store..You can still get Waiting for Agnes by Joe Bullard on line at www.readerwave.ecrater.com or on ebay same book store name readerwave

The end to a not so perfect year!

Well today is the last day of 2009. Does not seem possible..Went up to see mother and tried on all her Christmas gifts.. Have less to take back than I thought.  She gave me all her Christmas letters to answer.. I don’t even answer my own.

I have washing to do and it is getting taller by the min.

Tomorrow want to go to the flee market and check on my store. Take some books that i was given over the holidays.  Figure out a way to hang some things that I want to put in baggies..

Remember I still have an on line store and feature Joe Bullard’s “Waiting for Agnes” signed.  Has great reviews.. www.readerwave.ecrater.com or www.ebay.com or www.readerwave.com

Family and History

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Hump day already.. The time is going so fast I have so much to do before I go away again.  I have to work on stores and get Jan birthdays out. or ready to go out. I have been chilly all morning.. Could be because I did not get enough sleep.. I was playing with my Farm at Farm Town most of the night.  I need some more players so I can hire people to plow.. and its fun…

I get to contact a cousin I have not talked to in years..That should be fun. We both work on family history.. so we can catch up.

remember is you are buying a book you must pay for it to receive it. you must give a correct address if you are going to get it.

Home

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

We are home!  Glad to be back but sure glad we went. We miss all our children and grandchildren when we are away from each other.  Can’t wait to go to VA in a couple of weeks to see some more grands. 

We have been putting away and cleaning this morning. I have all the Christmas wrap back in the closet. But its not so far back that I can’t use it to get started again. I have a drawer full of stuff already from after holiday shopping.

Need to go to Mother today. She fell last night.. she has a goose egg on her elbow .. She has not told me yet. The place called to tell me this morning that she fell last night. She did not brake anything so they did not call us to wake us up…That was nice… I called Mom right away and she did not mention it at all..

I am wondering how my flee market store did while I was away. I hope it made even at least. Its been a hard start to get people inside. It has to change or Gene will nicely suggest that I move outside again.

Does not seem possible that its the end of the year already.

remember if you are looking for good used books or shot glasses my on line stores are great  www.readerwave.com

Oprah and Ellen

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Oprah and Ellen I bought the O mag after my daughter called and said she was entering the contest for the 12 days of Christmas and we should both do it as we might win a trip to Chicago or Los Angles. That would be so cool.. I could not tell you how many times I have entered something and lost.. But its such a great thing to enter.. There is always a chance.  And when you don’t enter you don’t win.. My daughter thought that we would get to be on Oprah for the holiday show and I was telling her that it said a show now which one.. Just to win a trip together would be great. Our husbands both know how to handle themselves alone.  My son in law has 2 daughters to keep him in line and my husband can go see my Mother in her assisted living home… She’ll keep him straight!  LOL…

I have been working on my books for the flee market I am moving inside this week.. I guess its a good thing as its raining.. I wanted to have someone stand out side the building and hand out my business cards but I guess that is out of the question as its suppose to rain Saturday morning. Friday I go and set up.. That should be fun.. I have been going though my boxes and putting them in order so they are easier to put up. I only have a couple of hours to do this in.  Hope to see you there… Bring a friend

Remember I have an online book store come see www.readerwave.ecrater.com

I can have more books this way with shelves that stay there at all times.. Be better on my back.  Will be there starting this Saturday at 7 am come visit me.. I will have surprises and sales… Remember that I sell my books for $1.00 or trade one book and .50  no more trade two and no money. I must make my rent payment to keep me there.. If you are looking for a certain author let me know. I will try to help you out with that.

I am looking for a company to order new books from I am thinking of offering new paperbacks in the new year..If you know of someone to help me with that please email me at readerwave@bellsouth.net

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Don’t know what to do…I have a chance to get in out of the weather and to leave my stock at the place and not have to move it…For those of you who might not have read me before I am talking about books.  This is so sad today’s weather is 36 and very clear and sunny out. Why could it not be yesterday. Sundays we do not sell much.. most of the people go to church.   If I move into the building I want to spend a little extra money and place an ad in the paper saying that’s where I am..  So if you read this try helping me with an ad for the the yard sale part of the newspaper… I want to put it in that section as most of the people who I have given business  cards to have been at yard sales.. They are calling me The Book Lady the other book lady has moved to another location.  If I move inside I would have to be there Saturdays and Sundays… I would get one of the peoples kids to cover for me on weekends I might go away.  I wish my grands lived closer.. I could get one of them to work with me.  Maybe during the summer..  Well that is all I can think to write about today..Its the only thing on my mind to take care of this week.. Will let you know how that turns out.. I might just wait till after I come back in January from visiting our daughter.. My husband is not going maybe he will work it for me.. Time will tell….

In case you are not local to me and are looking for something good to read if you don’t find it on my online bookstore at www.readerwave.ecrater.com send me a note at readerwave@bellsouth.netI might have it in over stock that is waiting to go to flee market or put on line  here.. Tell me your favoriteauthors.. If you don’t tell me I will just keep thinking everyone likes the authors I do…  Remember I do have some new and some used… Some signed and some autographed.  New is Waiting for Agnes and its signed by local North Florida author Joe Bullard.  I can sell you as many copies as you would like… at $19.99 plus shipping…
