Sketch with Me: travel

This month’s virtual sketch crawl with the Sketch With Me group is focusing on travel. A good subject for me, as I have been traveling a lot lately, and will be for the next few days as well as we drive to Kansas for a friend’s funeral.

We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary a few days early, choosing a local bed & breakfast out in the country, away from just about everything. We planned on grilling our own steak dinner out on the balcony of the tree top room . . . but Bill moved up his dental appointment and had just had 8 teeth pulled. So nix on the steaks; we grilled cheese quesadillas instead!

 The next day, we headed for Magnolia, TX to look at another property with our daughter and son-in-law. This property had a lot going for it, but the traffic nearby was a nightmare! We were warned that FM 1774 through Magnolia was horrid during Ren-Fest weekends in the autumn . . . But it is crazy-slow every day with the lunch hour and school getting out!

I used another sketchbook page to jot down notes on each of three properties we looked at — the next two were a definite “no” so we are continuing the search.
