Something tells me they won't be too keen on the crab hat, but what the hay. Also, thanks for the words of support. I think mentioning the blog cabin show spurring interest is a grand idea...<br /><br />Kay - I sent you an e-mail with more fun facts about all the marketing, but hey, I was never in this for the money, that's for sure! (And good thing!) It was a great opportunity to do a book, and after this next hurdle of promoting it, hopefully the bulk of it will be over and I can focus on what I do best. (What that is is *completely* unknown to me....but I'm thinking maybe a calendar, a photo/coffee table book, who knows.)<br /><br />deborah - The writing in the book is almost exactly opposite my writing style on this blog, with almost no anecdotal information (and no strike throughs!). It is more a compilation of facts from our local paper, the Gazette Journal, and some local history books. Maybe some day I'll do one with this rambling style of mine that relies heavily on strike throughs and tangents.... thanks, as always, for your kind words.<br /><br />Bethie/DJ/TSAnnie/Daryl-I think I've just been convinced to send in at least one crab hat photo...<br /><br />MPM-Send me whatever you come across if you have time. Thank you!<br /><br />CB Mother/Wild on Waverly - I think they think I fell headfirst off a seafood truck, to be honest. And if they don't think that now, they'll certainly think so when I send at least one mug shot with a crab hat. I may need your help Thursday afternoon, get your camera ready.<br /><br />Meg-Unfortunately with my work/commute and sporting events this week, I have no time to go to a Sears (which would entail yet more driving), but even so this is not for the sleeve of the book (which has already gone to print), this is only for promotional material.So a snapshot should be fine. It's just that I don't have any that I didn't take myself through the window at Williams Wharf or my own sliding glass door, etc.<br /><br />Dghawk-A houseboat sounds wonderful. Have you seen those Aqua Lodges over in Deltaville? Check them out at www.eastcoasthouseboats.com. I think I could get used to living on one of these, except during a nor'easter, hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, mosquito season, horsefly season, etc. etc.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-69825537927191869932011-10-25T19:27:07.234-04:002011-10-25T19:27:07.234-04:00I've always liked this one of you although I t...I've always liked this one of you although I took it two summers ago.<br /><br />http://chroniclesofacountrygirl.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-dont-think-she-knew-what-she-was.htmlCountry Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-83308224426819781512011-10-25T16:25:27.787-04:002011-10-25T16:25:27.787-04:00Your crab hat sounds fine to me, too!

Sounds dorky, but then you'd have an "official" portrait instead of a snapshot... Oh, wait, I see now that everyone else voted for the crab hat.

( " Home of the Famous 2011 Blog Cabin" ) and the (at least) 10 + million people who follow the BC giveaway contest, newly interested in this charming and little-known area of VA.<br /> Strike while the iron is hot, publishers !! Secondly, you have loyal and devoted blog fans...I can't estimate, but I know there are Blog Cabin fans who also read your posts, in addition to your other blog fans.<br />XO XO, good luck---LLCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
