Meeting The Couple at the Bakery, What a laugh!

 Awesome day at the bakery today. I walked down town wearing my big sun hat (same one I wore when my grand daughter painted me on Mother's Day Sunday)...walked into the Bakery and when I heard someone LAUGHING. 

I looked and who do I see but THE COUPLE (from Jalisco's, who I spoke about in yesterday's post and who I have drawn there numerous times)...The woman was laughing AT SEEING ME WALK IN because we Saw EACH OTHER at Jalisco's where we have come to recognize each other and saw each other there just yesterday, and here we all were having lunch at another same place again the very next day!

I went up to them and introduced myself. They introduced themselves to me: "I'm Debbie, this is Mike." We kept laughing. Not much else was said. It didn't need to be. I smiled my big smile and they did too...and they went on eating their lunch and I went over to the counter to order mine. Wow!

I couldn't draw them today as they were done and gone before I had time to order and sit down.
So after I got my sandwich I went outside to a sitting area of tables and drew what was around me including my sandwich:

 My Artist Journal pages tell the stories.............
I love our small town...I love drawing...I love coming home and painting my drawings....
Life is so good.

    Here you spell out some interesting differences between us, Lynn. We tend not to eat out very often. The guys in our Armed Forces tend not to be seen in uniform, for reasons of safety (sad old world). I was Air Force for 25 years (Left 1983) and we all wore uniform off-base - sign of the times!

      John last year I rarely ate out and bragged about all the money I was saving. This year (actually since Nov 2011) I eat out more frequently in order to draw in my community! It's worth it to me to do so.
      Interesting comparisons you make about our military differences.

      Suki I hope you got to see the pictures finally. Yes, it's a lot of fun here in thismall burg ... actually we have a population of around 150, 000 but it feels like a small town it really does.

    I love these watercolors...you could do a show on just these as they are 'real life' and sweet and nostalgic kind of feeling...

    Wow, the soldiers really look great with the color. You nailed that army green. And the cool uniformed-with-sunglasses look.
