It was washday and I usually sketch while we wait on the laundry. I sketched in the brown paper sketchbook with the Prismacolor Premier 05 marker/pen. It is warm and windy. "Cloudy in the west and looking like rain", as the old song, Ol Chisholm Trail, says. Of course, there hasn't been any rain. So sad.
Number 3, under a tree - one of the permanent trailers, deck, fence and lots of goodies in the yard.
Number 4, animal - one of the miniature paint horses and number 5, nature - the lake, trees and ducks.
Number 54, my eye - this looked OK small, enlarged for here, it looks a little like my evil eye. Hmmm.
We went to the Veterans Day Celebration in downtown Bastrop on Saturday. They have an antique car show, market days, music, speaches, present the colors and they had a fly over. We had breakfast with Larry and Regina then listened to the program and came home.
Essay award winner, middle school, he wrote a wonderful essay that was read for us.
The colors as they were presented.
The colors and the other flags presented by the high school ROTC.
The fly over by some flyers from San Marcos, TX.
One broke away for the missing flyer presentation. They actually flew over 3 times, this was the third pass.
A couple of friends sing in the choir.
Larry Burchett spoke for the Navy Seals about Chief Petty Officer Matt Mills, 36, from Bastrop, who was killed in August in Afghanistan along with 29 other soldiers, 22 who were Navy Seals.
It was a beautiful day of commemoration and celebration. We had a nice day.

Small towns sure do up a nice Veteran's Day.
Bag Blog, the town has great spirit. It was a fun day.
Looks like it was a nice day. I like the flyover!
And, I like that the sketches are darker...easier to see on the screen!
Joanna, the flyover was neat. I expected jets, but those planes/prop jets sort of added to the day.
