Ohme, Oh My!

Pat Conroy is such a talented writer and I do love all of his books and thoroughly enjoy reading them. I have enjoyed the movies that have been made from his books, too. Prince of Tides starring Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte has to be my favorite.
I went ahead and published my lens even though I have not read the book yet. You see, I am saving it to read while at the beach next month – that is, if I can wait that long.

Pat Conroy was a fun lens to make because I read and listened to all the reviews that I could find and there were really some great ones.
The story takes place in Charleston South Carolina. The people living South of Broad Street were called SOBS and the people living Slightly North of Broad Street were called SNOBS – just little local trivia!

I had gone to Pat Conroy’s website and contact Doubleday asking for permission to use Pat Conroy’s photography on my lens. They were kind enough to send me the photo and a press release but said that he would not do an email interview. Oh well, I tried. I did ask Doubleday if they thought he would be interested in coming to Pendleton for our Fall Harvest Festival and have a Book Signing. She never responded but I haven’t given up yet. Evidently, he is not having many book signings or interviews but has already been on Good Morning America and some other shows. Who knows! Maybe he would love to come to Pendleton. I sure don’t know why not.

Pat Conroy – my Squidoo lens

The assignment for the first week in Session 3 of Rocket Moms is to write a selling lens about Toys. I love toys so have enjoyed reading some really great lenses. This link list all the Rocket Mom Toy Lenses as they are published and added to the plexo:

I wrote mine about Spinning Toy Tops and it was a fun lens to do. In fact, it made me want to do another toy lens about Jack in the Boxes. Maybe later. I have two to finish up over the weekend.

Today I will work on my Writing Spider lens which means I have to go take some pictures so hope the rain yesterday didn’t wash him away.

I have enjoyed creating products on Zazzle and look forward to making many more.  Recently I published a lens showcasing some of Ohme’s Zazzle

Yes, this was a very busy summer but a great one. We were able to take two trips with our 9 year old grandson and that made them extra special. I wrote a lens about our Our Florida Vacation. We also went to Washington DC and the best part about that was that we got to visit with our son and daughter in law who have recently moved there. They were so good to show us all the sights. We had reservations for a tour of the Capitol through Senator Graham’s Regional Office and were so glad we did. It was wonderful.

Other than trips and Freedom Fest, I enjoyed going to our local Pendleton Farmers Market and now am working on promoting our Fall Harvest Festival.

My grandson and I enjoyed our tradition of dying Queen Anne’s Lace and we had a great visit from my cousin and I surprised her with a big Fruit Salad when she first arrived.

Well, now I know where my time has gone. I seem to have a lens about everything we did this summer. Oh me! I didn’t mention the big event that I finally made Giant Squid and was so excited. I just had to write a lens to thank everyone for all the help they gave me during My First Year On Squidoo.
