Hi,
Can't believe it is was the 10th International Sketchcrawl and I missed it! Not that I've ever participated, but when I read about it I decided to sketch at our Patriotic Festival here in Bastrop. So much for that .. I forgot!
It has been a few days since I posted. Too many last minute details for our trip. Yesterday, July 1, Saturday, we had Joanna's birthday. Happy Birthday, Joanna. (Birthday actually on the 4th) Great day .. good brisket (Thanks, Gene), carrot cake, World Cup Soccer (go Portugal! Now that our team is out.) and the fireworks. Sort of a quiet time with just the two girls here.
Here in Bastrop, we have the 4th celebration on a day or two before the 4th as the Austin Symphonic Band plays and of course, they play in Austin on the 4th. It is a great evening. They have arts and crafts, food at 6 p.m., local musicians until 8:00 p.m.. Then at 8, the Symphonic Band plays traditional patriotic music until the fireworks at 9:15 p.m. or so. There is about 20 minutes of fireworks over the Colorado River. Just great. This year we had a rainy Saturday, so the Symphonic Band couldn't perform. There was food, recorded music and great fireworks. And, the rain held off during the evening.
Off to pack, one more painting for Gene to frame, etc.
Later,
Jo
