ISAAC CONNER, JR.

I AM A BAD BLOGGER!
I LEFT THE HOUSE WITHOUT MY CAMERA AND MY CELL PHONE'S CAMERA FEATURE DOESN'T WORK!
so I continue



Isaac Conner, Jr.

One never knows what's in store when we "hop" out of bed in the mornings!!
( It's been a long time since I actually hopped anywhere, especially out of bed!)

MC and I planned on a day in Sandy Springs around Perimeter Mall.  Wanted to hit two or three spots and end the evening at Nordstrom's Cafe for dinner. If we timed it right we would miss all the traffic coming home.

  Everything was going by plan...including wrong turns, etc.  This is expected when traveling with MC!  We had just had a light dinner in Nordstrom's  Cafe, which by the way is a hidden treasure!  Learned years ago that the Cafes in Nordstroms are fantastic!  The newer Nordstroms have a different concept,  called The Bistro.  They're OK, but the old format, the Cafes,  are so much better.

The At Home department is directly next to the Cafes.  We were checking out the Westin Beds.   We bought one about 10 years ago.  Never, ever have we had a better bed!  We were curious,  and sure  enough they still sell them and they will go on sale during their Anniversary Sale!  Interesting!!!

The Sales Associate, Isaac, was oozing with enthusiasm!  What a personality!!!!  We learned he has lived ALL over the globe!  Originally from Alabama with stops living  for over 10+ years  in Germany,  Turkey,  and New York City.   What does he do?  He  taught Aerobics, Dance, Acting and does Singing!  He self taught himself German so he could teach in the small city he was working in. This man is truly unique and talented!

Best bit of interest!   He is in the process of writing a Trilogy of his life experiences!!!  Has a publisher he's talking to and is about ready to hopefully get the first one published!!!  I told him about our little Reading Group and how we thought it would be  great  to have an author come to one of our meetings and discuss their book. 
 GUESS WHAT "GALS"???
If he can work it out , he would love to come and have us preview and critique his first book! ...even before it's published!!!   He's also thinking about writing a book  in a different format. One with vignettes about  all the people, friends and ''characters",  he has met in his travels! 

....No camera, no picture of Isaac!

  I MUST remember to always have it with me.  This Post would be so, so much better with Isaac's picture.  Would have loved for all of  you to see the energy, talent and personality that came from him.  Unbelievable!

It was  a very unique, fun day!  We got lost, MC's GPS had us going all over the place and my stupid, smart phone's, "navigation" feature hasn't worked in months!

Dinner was great!

We bought tons of wine!

And Best of All

We Met

ISAAC!


 Let's hope Isaac can find his way to visit us, and  his book gets published!
I will not forget my camera when that happens!

Patty

  2. Oh, I hate that you left your phone behind as I have lived that frustration myself! Thanks for the introduction and I hope we can hear more about Isaac and his book!

  4. what fun adventures you have dear Patty! so fun to hear about your goings on. One more vote for an iphone, I don't have one, but at least I'd always have a decent camera on me!
    Happy 4th,

    1. Nancy, somehow MC and I find ourselves meeting the most interesting people. I am going to really try and remember to carry my camera. MC is not a fan of the iphones.
