 I 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

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.

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

Blogs what are they for… In my case to let off steam, to tell you about my bookstore on line and at the flee market… To talk things over with myself as no one hardly ever reads my blogs so I know I am boring.. That’s OK.. I have bad grammer and spelling… But that’s OK too.. I am the one who reads me… If I am having a problem with my thoughts its good to let them get out. Like my book store would love to have a real one..But I can see that it would be a bust in my town. I am barely making it at the flee market how would I do it at a real store 6 days a week… I don’t have the extra cash laying around to take on something like that. I don’t know how to handle the finances… I do it the easiest I can with my online store and flee market.. I only buy what I can afford.. I am always in the black…have one person I ever owe money too…
My dalima(sp) now is weather I should go inside at the flee market or stay outside. Inside I would be able to leave my books there at all times.. It would cost me more but I could have more stock. I would need to be there every weekend or have someone cover for me. If you read this leave me some feedback.. I would not even know what to pay the person.. My thought was what ever profit was made up to $4o.oo and anything over that is mine. I need an honest person… someone I can trust.. its not like I have a cash register to keep track of inventory…
Looking for great reading go online at www.readerwave.ecrater.com where we take PayPal or money orders… www.readerwave.com or www.ebay.com where we only take PayPal
We are at the Lake City Flee Market Saturdays…

I am in a delima…I don’t know what I want to do about my flee market store..I want to move it inside for several reasons..The weather is a big factor. I could leave it up all the time. But then I would need someone to watch it all the time. I don’t make enough money yet to hire someone. I need to get the word out that I am there. I guess I need to spend some money to make some money. This is the holiday season and its been miserable on the weekends that makes it rough for the flee market sales. I did not make a profit last Sunday.. I cleared my money but that was all.. I wish I could afford a store out side where I could be open 6 days a week.. That would be great. maybe I could get some business. This is my wish has been for a very long time.. My dream. Books are my passion. I love to see people pick up a book. and when they are at one of my stores either on line or at the flee market its even better.

Worked very hard to make gifts for some of the grandchildren who live in snow or are going to show over the holidays.. Yesterday I went to the flee market here and it started out in the high 30’s and I used one of hubbys pea caps..So when I came home I started making one of my own.. But I could not get it done in time to wear today.. About half done will be done for next week.. I was trying to make a apron with holiday fabric but have decided a full apron will not fit over my coat and maybe a carpenter apron will real long ties would be better… So I will work on that this week… I don’t have my sewing machine anymore so have to cut and go stitch at my sister in laws house… Which will be fine I love going over and visiting with her..
I always run out of Westerns… I found some last night going though my books on line.. I had forgotten that I had them.. So I took them off line and taking them to the flee market today.
My online book business is picking up.. Things are looking up. I would like to thank God for getting this store back on track.. I know you have a lot harder things to do… Thanks for looking our way..
Have a great Sunday or what ever day it is where you are at…
