You Poor Readers

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Books … I promise to enter books in my eCRATER store next week… I have been lax.. lately.. very relaxed… And its showing up in my blogs also.. I am sorry to who ever might read and not comment… You are being very kind….

Next week I have several books to enter…

Brenda Novak   Trust Me  used

Barbara Delinsky  The Secret Between Us  New

Kate Wilhelm  Cold Case  New

Luanne Rice Last Kiss  (One reader,Me)

Linda Lael Miller Bridegroom(One Reader,Me)

Emilie Richards happiness key (One Reader,Me)

Nancy Haddock  Last Vampire Standing   New signed

I found out that I have been advertising my books wrong… Nothing new I always find something to change… I have been writting autographed on all the books where some are signed…..Like

Waiting for Agnes is signed…. Autographed is when its personally to someone.. I have many of those… some I have put away and some I sell… I like to see an author and get two books if I want to keep one so then I have one to sell also…

Oh this last paragraph just gave me a Christmas idea for one of my daughters… sense they don’t read me often I don’t have to worry about my idea getting out…. the last time I took a great idea from here it worked …. I have to do a lot more holiday thinking… Husbands birthday is coming up… Then there is Christmas for 4 children and spouses, and 7 grandchildren and Mother, then comes the extend family and friends members… I have one idea for one child and that is it… I was always done by now when I was working out.. Well some of that was because I worked retail for 18 yrs..  Then the sit down job came along… 7 plus yrs… Now I am not working just puttering around the house and with my books.  Sometimes it get boring and others its great.. Sales are down but times are looking up… Something new happens every day… Like this tick in my cheek… Have had it for a week now… comes and goes… Husband says its a muscle that is pinched somewhere and I need to move my arms around and it might stop.. Sometimes it comes at the weirdest moments.. That is like when my leg starts moving when I am sitting down with it up in my recliner… just starts moving on its own… and its not because there is music playing….

This is how I use to write letter could never write books I get off the subject and just travel…. I started out talking about books, went to holidays and then to health… you poor readers I am leaving it…

40 yrs ago

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I was a new mother a month old baby.. Living with my parents, and grandparents.  My husband had not even met his daughter yet as he was in the Navy out to sea at the time.. Our daughter would be 5 months old before he saw her…I remember the day and what happened but I don’t really remember things around it.. This daughter and her family were just here visiting last month for her birthday.. What a great time. I was so old back then and knew it all… My mother still tells me that I THINK I know it all… I do don’t you…………

My two oldest granddaughters are here visiting and I was telling them that there mother was not even a twinkle at that time…

Have a good day stay day……….

Scooter versus Walking

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

We had our fourth trip to Gainsville yesterday in two weeks… This may not be a big deal to some…To us its a Wow. We don’t go far from home these days.. Gene’s not able to sit to long in the car or walk to long, due to pains in his legs and feet at all times.. Because of my knee problems I don’t walk far myself..Yesterday we picked up our second scooter.. Now we can travel as long as we want with out having to walk.. We went to the Mall yesterday in Gainsville and we went around the whole thing several times its was so much fun it got boring.. We learned how to open the doors to the stores by holding the door and backing up then going through and the next person did the same thing..  What freedom these scooters give us… They are easy to load in the car. Light weight.. The battery comes in a caring case with a handle its great. There are 4 parts. Will fit in someones trunk of car.. We fit two in our van with the back seats down. Our grandchildren come next week and we will take them places we could not go before or did not know about.. It will be a big surprise to them.. Of course we will go to the river.. for swimming.. no tubing this time.. Scooter versus Walking  no contest.. Can’t wait to go again.

Saving for others

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

I was just cutting out coupons I got off the internet to send to a lady in Iowa. She sends store coupons overseas to our servicemen and woman. She has many friends who help her. You can read the articale I saw at americanprofile.com
I try to send an envelope full every week has not been hard … This week there were none in my hometown paper, so went on line to Betty Crocker…

Then I got to thinking how many things do I save…..for something or someone.

Plastic bags to take back to my gocery store.

Coke.com has a place you can buy stuff with the codes of the caps or boxes… Well last year and the year before I gave those totaled amounts to Toys For Tots… That coke offered to do….

Boxtops for Education… Have been saving them for years for my children and now my grandchildren… so easy when you get the items anyways even my 87 year old mother hands me the packaging from her items so I can cut out the coupon…
What do you save that I could be doing….
I do not save cans and I should… we have to pay for the truck to come and pick it up and sometimes I see they leave our neighbors.
