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

Little by little I have been taking them out and taking them to the flee market so this morning I just took all but one out. “Waiting for Agnes” by Florida Native Joe Bullard. Book is about the Coral Castle built in the 1950’s with huge coral boulders… Great book and a good seller for Joe and I.

There is so much going on in my life that my brain won’t shut off… I have slept l hour this evening.. Its now 5 am… I have layed in my bed almost all night.. The rest of the time I was playing games on the computer… I got so tired I thought I would go to sleep.. I just went back to bed and layed with my eyes closed and thought about everything the rest of the night.
We are working on getting medicaid for my Mother so we can place her in a very nice assisted living.. We want to be able to travel or take off if we want.. There is a very nice Christian one here and someone was nice enough to tell us about it.We went to check it out.. It looks like a very large farm house from the out side… huge front porch goes across the whole front… The rooms are semi private.. Large.. She can have her big tv mounted on the wall she can have her (computer)that is nice as she loves to get mail…The only problem I have is I know she does not want to go.. But I want to to take off on a whim and go can’t do that with her here as I have to find someone or somewhere to take her can’t leave her alone for more than a day.. She can’t see well and can’t use microwave or stove…so she would be eating cold meals.. She can’t see what’s in the ref.. as the light shins in her eyes when she opens the door.. She knows where certain things are and that is where we put the things where she knows that they are… If she can’t be placed before the holidays I am getting her signed up for a weeks stay… so we can go south for the holidays.. She now uses oxygen 24-7 and the machine is noise. She has Asama and takes three breathing treatments a day.. Yesterday I showed her how to do it herself.. I did not watch or listen for her to take them past the first one.. I asked her at night if she took her third one and she told me of course.. As I said I did not listen for her.. and I am not going to check her garbage for the little vile. She is a grown person…
I have not worked on my online store in some time.. I have not had a sale in the past two weeks… I took my one book Waiting for Agnes of eBay a while back.. Last night i put it back on.. I want to see if this makes a difference… Will give it a week if it does not pick back up I will take it off and leave it off… Prices on eBay are getting to high…
I have been working on my Flee Market store getting it ready for when the fair is over.. It starts back up the weekend of Gene’s birthday. His kids are going to be here… I am going to ask them if they mind that I go till noon on the Saturday they are here.. They would never be ready to do anything to late morning anyways.. I can do a lot of business the first day back. And people will be expecting me.. I am thinking of getting two booths… so I can carry more books… But have not decided about that yet….I may just buy another table to take with me… that would make me 5 tables and a card table…
So as you can see I have a lot on my mind.. I have a trip to one of my daughters planned and another to plan and that is with out my husband… If my mother is here so he can stay with her…
I need to get my stores but and running again as I have a new car to pay for… This is another reason to get my flee market and online stores up and running more …
Looking for Agnes is a signed book by local author Joe Bullard, you can find it at www.ebay.com or www.readerwave.ecrater.com its at two different prices because of the price they charge to sell it for me… and must pay the author his  money of course…
Please leave comments…

There are allot of things going on today.. I need to do laundry, get the last of the things ready and in the car to be transported to my sister-in-laws house for a yard sale tomorrow… Most important I need to start making phone calls to find a place to deliver a oxygen machine with breathing treatments for my Mom. Doctors office doesn’t seem to be able to find a place to take her insurance. Sense doctors office is in a different town a half hour away from us maybe I can have better luck… Cross your fingers and toes…
I have been having pain in my arms again.. the meds they gave me when I fell seem to take the edge off of it… I don’t think the doctor will fill this… So will have to find another way to take care of this….I hate taking pain meds and I am finding I have a terrible tolerance to pain.. And I thought I was so good at it… I think its my arthritis and being a heavy person does not help..I know this … I wish I was taller then my fat would have more places to hide… I need to get out and walk with my neighbors… The only excuse I have is they are so ahead of me I would keep them back.. I could get out and ride my bike and I have no excuse for not doing that… I will start today… after dinner… that is when I use to ride… I am making myself a promise… If anyone wants to ride or walk with me just let me know, we can even do it long distance by phone… LOL….
I am going to my daughters after the holidays I can’t decide if I want to fly or drive… no one but me wants me to drive…I would love it if my youngest daughter would drive one way with me and fly home… We might even be able to pick up my friend on the way. That would be fun. Then my cousin is coming to Florida for the winter and is going to rent a car. Maybe her family can drive her to my daughters house and she can drive home with me… So when I leave my friend off I will still have someone to drive with. I would love it if she decided to find a place not so far from us..I would have someone to hang out with… This year I think I will make a couple of trips over to my sister-in-laws to visit with out my husband… That is my thoughts for now .. She and husband live and hour from us…We have always thought we could hang out together.. but when I got rid of my other car that was not possible now that I have another car it might be..It will give me a little more freedom not that I need to get away from anyone here.. Its just nice to be with another woman and just have fun….
I have been thinking of making me an old fashioned dress apron to wear at the flee market I have lots of Holiday material and it would be fun to have one for the holidays and one for after… I am getting in the making spirit again.. Have not been there for a long time… Making gifts for the girls and they are coming out pretty good.. My biggest problem is the tying off … I hope I am doing it right.. We will see when the girls start using there gifts… They are making up so fast I might even make me some for when I go to my daughters…
My book store on line has been real slow… I have not added anything to it in a while… have over 1300 items… I have been real busy with my items for the flee market and trying to decide if I want to go bigger when I go back… I would have to get more customers… And the weather has allot to do with it… I do not want to go inside as the people don’t seem inclined to go there… I don’t know why other than the same people sell in there…all the time…There has to be a way to get people to come in there… I have been thinking and thinking on it..
Well time to get up and get moving.. I might be going to yard sales this morning… will see what my husbands thoughts are on the subject… I cut out all the paper for the list of places to go.. He will put them in order and I will tape them to a sheet of paper to get us on the way… I need to go to Joe Bullards today to pick up more of his “Waiting for Agnes” I have one left… I have sold over 200 copys of this book… I am so glad that I started selling for him and for me…
Well this rambling woman is done for now have a great weekend if I don’t get back on here… tell me what you think of my rambling… If you are looking for a great used or new book, might be signed or autographed might even wrap it for the holidays if needed.. see me at www.readerwave.ecrater.com Shot glasses have collected them for years have boxes and boxes of them.. I have to sell some of what I have listed at www.shotglassheaven.com before I can get more out have no more room…

Google Analytics this fetcher on my computer is a wonder and an enjoyment to me.. When my daughter told me she cold show me who was on my sites I was shocked.. not names of people but what towns and how they got to my site. There is a wheel that shows if they came direct, like they knew our store address or blog… If they came by way of a search engine.. Like google … Even what countries,states and towns… Like yesterday some one from the southwest looked at a book. From Powey that is in California I think…
Wish it could tell me what to do to make people look more and then buy.. I love my bookstore and my shot glass store.. It makes me feel bad that I don’t do better at it.. I do better at the flea market… I can’t offer as much there as its to hard to carry everything with me…
We are having a fair in our town in the next few weeks so our flee market is closed down to get ready for it… I think I will go this year to get a better understanding of it… Also there is a book fair at the Library in the next town over this week and I got some really go buys last year so I am going to go get a look at it… I will need to be careful so I think I will take some boxes with me and a dolly… I have a plastic one that I can use put the box on it and go around with it so I don’t have to carry items then I will have boxes in the car that I can switch to it will take longer. The reason I will have to be careful is I feel yesterday in our grocery store parking lot.. Spent several hours at the hospital getting x rays… I am on some good meds.. as I don’t hurt like I thought I would this morning.. I am going to go off them this morning to see how I feel… So I can get the pain level to tell the doctor when I call for my checkup date…
As you can see I am a rambler.. This is my blog to tell my story… To let my hair down so to speak..So I talk on here as if I were talking to someone here at home… But if you have read my blogs in the past I am the talker of this family..(husband and I)..I love him,our children(his and mine) books and shot glasses… I have two online stores Readerwave who has moved from 4 years of being on eBay to being on eCRATER.. www.readerwave.com or www.readerwave.ecrater.com I list most of my books by author… I can place as many books as I want on this site with no charge… for listing or selling.. You say how do they make there money.. from advertising. If I wanted I could place ads and lots of people do.. I don’t… Prices at eBay got to high for the amount that I was selling… I sell a book “Waiting for Agnes”by a local author in our area Joe Bullard..This book has sold real good for me… I have offered it on eBay, Amazon and eCRATER… I have sold over 200 copies and some are more than one to a person.. Make wonderful gifts and its signed.. That is the added feature I can offer that no one else can.. And the fact I am the only one offering NEW signed copies… They make wonderful gifts… If you are a Florida history buff its great… If you want to give a copy to your Library its great… I have sold copies to many countries… I feature some of my favorite authors I am a romance,suspense reader… Some of my favorite authors many of them write stories that are a series about small town USA Debbie Macomber-Cedar Cove (fashioned after her hometown of Port Orchard,Washington..(I have been there its across the bay from Seattle..)great place… This year they held Cedar Cove Days and to hear tell it was great.. I think I can quote someone who went that said there were 40 States and lots of countries represented… You can read about this author more on her blog www.debbiemacomber.com Then there is Robyn Carr and Virgin River fashioned after no particular town but after the northern redwood area of California… you can read about Rybon Carr more at her site www.robyncarr.com Then there is Diana Palmer and The Long Tall Texans series from Jacobsville, Texas another made up town of small town America. www.dianapalmer.com Another one which I found by accident two summers ago when I had decided to read books with a series.. and new authors to me… I found JoAnn Mapson who wrote a series about Alaska and a young wheelchair bound girl trying to keep her plant nursery going that was left to her in a will by her aunt… loved it… I have always wanted to visit there and I did thought these stories.. There are so many authors with series that I love. Joan Johnston who writes about early history in America… (settlers) Then there is Jan Karon who writes about Medford another small town USA… www.jankaron.com These are just a few… there are so many more.. If you have an author who writes a series you think I should try please let me know. I have read allot of authors with a series this is just the icing on the cake so to speak… There is Susan Wiggs, Rachel Lee, Janet Evanovich, Sherryl Woods, Luanne Rice, Linda Lael Miller she has a wonderful series that I follow … www.lindalaelmiller.com also Fern Micheals and the sisterhood , www.fernmicheals.com then there is Dorothy Garlock who write about the early days in America the 30’s on up…great stories… There are just to many to mention…. www.dorothygarlock.com
I like going to book signings.. In January I heard about one with 12 local authors being there.. I traveled an hour from my home and it was well worth it.. I met some of the nicest woman and I had not read any of them … I have read almost all the books I bought and had autographed that day.. I sent several to my daughter as she likes to read of vampires and I don’t find that to be my cup of tea…
Ramblings of a Crazy Woman is what I am changing my blog title to instead of Google Analytics as it is at the moment… I am not Crazy as the saying goes just crazy about Romance Novels… and their authors… Thanks for listening to my rambling… as we all hear a voice in our head as we read, I do…

Well October 1st was a good day for readerwave books.. I sold a few and had several questions…That is good… I hope that is a sign that the times are changing.. We are going to yard sales this morning.. I like to look for more books all the time.. I find my leappad items also.. I am out of one kind that sells well.. I have several toddler items just go to www.readerwave.ecrater.comand look under categories Leap . You will not be disappointed.. Looking for extra books and cartridges.. have those for sale also.
Waiting for Agnes is a signed book by Joe Bullard.. He writes a great book.. I sell this one all the time and have many comebacks for more copies for friends.. Makes a great Holiday gift. Books are great gifts its one of those that keeps on giving.
I am looking for people who read and look at my book store to tell me what authors they like to read and what books they are looking for.
I have a lady who is looking for Ann George never heard of her but I am looking. some one else is looking for Danille Steel I have found one that she wants and I am looking for others… Another lady I do business with is looking for Judith Gould I have found some for her.. These people are repeat customers… I had one lady order from me and write a message with her order.. I am so glad I found you.. I missed you on eBay.. Well I left eBay and let as many customers as I could know I was leaving.. I guess I missed this one.. So sorry if anyone else was missed… I hope you find me at www.readerwave.ecrater.com We are no longer on Amazon either… I the price to sell and maintain on these two sites was getting to high for my pocketbook.. I wanted to keep my prices down to keep my customers coming back to me.. I hope it works and send a friend or co worker along also.
Will put some holiday items in our book store soon… Hope you like what I have picked out…
I will be going to the flee market tomorrow morning. I am taking all my older books and selling them at a very low price so I can get newer ones and this sale will free up my boxes and make room and afford me the money to do it with… Thanks for reading and buying from me… Keep coming back and I will try not to bore you as I am not a writer.. Just a person who likes to talk…There is a big difference.. This why I don’t get the big bucks or following… LOL… Have a great day.

Our bookstore offers many kinds of books Today we will show you the ones new with autographs
Waiting for Agnes by Joe Bullard Inspired by the true story of Coral Castle
Coral Castle sits on Key West Highway in Homestead,Florida. It was built by a Latvian immigrant named Ed Leedskalnin. Claiming he fashioned his tools from Mr. Kilgore’s junkyard, Edd cut and moved over 1100 tons of massive, jagged coral stone. When asked how he did this, Ed said,”I know the secret of the Great Pyramid.”
This book is about why Ed left his home in Latvia, moved to Florida, and built Coral Castle at the edge of the Everglades. It also explores a theory of how Ed might’ve cut and moved stones weighing more than those of the Great Pyramid. The true secret of this lost science can never be known, it went into the grave with Ed when he died in 1951.
 every book is autographed... Dancing in Time by Violet Rightmire
A remote Appalachian village, lost in time….
A New York Theater stage,awash with light…
A ballerina, torn between the love of her career and the love of a man who tells her a secret she cannot believe.
Hadleigh Brent and Dotor Collins. This is their story-about the barrier of time and the resiliency of love.
Great reading autographed by author
 Author Jax,Fl signing We offer many others, from Debbie Macombers, “Cedar Cove Christmas” “Running Scared” by Cheryl Norman, “Four Little Blessings “by Merrillee Whren

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.

Love to read, turned a hobby into a pretty good store for a very long time… Last year after 4 yrs of higher and higher prices, and changed rules more often than we can count, we moved from eBay to eCRATER.
There are only two things I can’t do at the new store or you can’t do..Move from one persons books to another.. example 1 (search for one title and find every book in ebay with that title so you get lots of sellers offerings. In eCrater you go from one store to another and look at all the persons books..) 2nd example (shipping discounts.. can’t offer them directly like before.. If you want a shipping discount you must pay full price andI will send you back a refund as soon as I get your order. shipping discount is buy first book or largest weighting book in your choice of books pay full price every book after in the SAME order is $1.00 shipping and handling. The only way to do this in eCRATER is to payful price and I will send you a refund as soon as I get the order… Of course if you do money order you can have your discount right away… as you are mailing me amount after I send bill …
I offer over 1000 books and other items in my store come take a look… Over 100 authors listed by name and some are in random spots where they belong, romance, mystery etc.. We even have two books autographed personally by authors… Debbie Macomber http://tinyurl.com/nxowek and Joe Bullard http://tinyurl.com/pc9yap Have summer Flip Flops http://tinyurl.com/kobh73 Patricia Rice http://tinyurl.com/m2ng8t , Nora Roberts http://tinyurl.com/lwrnwa , childrens http://tinyurl.com/nemrxo Johanna Lindsey http://tinyurl.com/nn3feg Fanatsy http://tinyurl.com/ln7frl These are just a few… We offer CD’s and Cassettes for talking books, we have music CD’s from some of my favorite singers, Reba, Collin Raye, Garth Brooks. We have Harliquin at new low prices http://tinyurl.com/mm17mk Come see our store at http://tinyurl.com/olyuny or www.readerwave.com We do have one book in both ebay and amazon.. “Waiting for Agnes” is offered in three places at three different prices. This is because the companys have different prices they charge to sell for me.. eCRATER is the lowest as they do not charge me anthing to sell there… So again eCRATER has the best deals… I have lower priced books and will offer a shipping discount when asked…any questions email me at readerwave@bellsouth.net If you need references go to eBay and see my over 2000 feedbacks.. Have a great day. Picture of the day……….
