Yesterday we went to the Post Office and to do some other errands. I was in line for 20 minutes or so and didn't take my phone. After a while I remembered I had my little sketchbook so I did a sketch with a Pilot ballpoint pen. From there we went to do errands and decided to get a Whataburger for a late lunch. They have green chile now, so very good. I sketched again in the little book while we waited for the burgers. The place is all orange and white. There are stripes on the cups and bags. Very bright!

I received an invitation from our friend Joel Becktell https://www.joelbecktell.com/ to listen and watch a concert in Santa Fe on Sunday, December 13. He is a master cellist and very entertaining. The ticket is $20 and available for you to watch for a month. It is professionally done and in a beautiful setting in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assísí. Virtual tour here on their site. https://cbsfa.org/89 Be sure and check it out, you will enjoy the music and a visit to New Mexico. Christmas Treasures

Joel is also painting now. When he gets his website up, I will point you in that direction. This is very exciting for me. We met in Magdalena, New Mexico, many years ago at one of the Old Timers Reunion shows.
Joel has some fun things including hints on playing the cello on youtube and beautiful music!

Glad to see you had a little sketchbook with you. That always helps pass the time. Don't think I've eaten at Whataburger.
Joan, thanks. I usually have a sketchbook thanks to my friend, Sue, who sketches all the time. She even sees something she likes and instead of taking a photo to remind her she sketches it! Whataburger fast food chains are only in Texas, I think, family owned for 50+ years. Grilled the old fashioned way and not microwaved. The first time they came up with green chile. They've always had jalepeños.
Jo what a great way of making the best of your time while waiting. Wonderful sketches. Will be looking forward to Joel's page once it is up and running. Have a delightful day. Hugs!
Debbie, thank you so much. Always fun to visit your blog, too. I'm smiling.
I really like the sketch of the boot, coats, etc. Sometimes when I am out and about waiting on Toby or something, I forget that I carry a sketch pad with me. Usually I pull out my phone - duh. Now and then, I remember to sketch.
Bag Blog, thanks. That would be a good painting as the boots are red and the flowers on the jean jacket are red, even a dab of red on the hat. Another time! I'm bad about picking up the phone, too, now. Once in a while I will sketch on the phone when I realize what I'm doing, but mostly just "play" and waste time. Sigh....
I would have just left the line, not standing there without my phone lol
Ha, Jennifer Rose. It was tempting to go for my phone but there were about 8 people behind me already. We went to Paige, Texas, to mail the rest the next day or so. No line in a very small town. Also we can go to eat at the Paige Roadhouse after mailing cards, etc.
