Mothers Day, Flag and Sketches

First of all, Happy Mothers Day to the mothers and all the children of mothers!  It is a beautiful day here and our adult kiddos will be here for lunch and maybe a round of Telefunken (Rummy card game).


I did sketch yesterday in the big book and on my iPad for Scavenger Hunt 677.
 
 




Number 4 metal - spur
Number 5 glass - cup
Number 6 cylinder - fireplace match holder
Number 7 wooden - bowl
In the big book with a Micron 02

Number 8 plastic - cup from New Orleans
On my iPad with Brushes (digital, and obviously free hand)



I am proud to be an American and proud of our country and all the good we have done in helping during disasters and wars.  I'm proud of all our good ordinary hard working citizens.  I appreciate different ideas and opinions.   We all have more in common than you might think, right?  

This old song by Johnny Cash says it all:

Ragged Old Flag

Hope you had a good Mother's Day! Fun to see your "big book" sketches.

That Ragged Old Flag has gone through a lot and even with all the differences between all of us, she is important to us and holds us together.

Thanks, Joan. I do love our country. I will be happy to finish the big book.
