Christmas--God With Us

  

I'm posting my "DrawingInChurch" notes for today....on my personal blog.  Hope you can read it. :-)
Our "Shepherding Pastor" was the
Preacher today. 

Merry Christmas

   
I watercolored this a few years ago, and thought I would use it for our Christmas Card this year.....so to anyone sho doesn't get one:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ornaments

 Thought I would try Watercolor-ing a couple ornaments--one in purple, one in red.  Just a little color for my sketchbook journal :-)

Umbrellas

   

Saw a photo of these umbrellas in the Newspaper...this is only some of them.....
but it was fun to sketch them myself and watercolor them the way I like the
colors arranged.  I love lots of color :-)

Taking my Sketchbook/Journal out to Dine.....

I always read the Dining section of the weekend Newspaper.  We decided to pay this place a visit even though it is WAY across town from us!  It's on a Canal in St. Clair Shores, MI.   Lake St. Clair is an extension (?) (and North) of the Detroit River which eventually empties into Lake Huron.  It takes about 45 to 50 minutes to get there even on the I-696 Expressway.  But it was totally worth the trip.  I had heard that they serve Lobster Rolls out on the East Coast.  Well, "Mikes On The Water" (in Michigan) serves them too--and are they delicious!  We will go again!
p.s. I think I got the "flow" of the River incorrect.....Lake Huron probably empties into Lake St. Clair, then the Detroit River and eventually the St. Lawrence Seaway--and to the Atlantic Ocean--I'll figure it out :-)

MILLER'S IN DEARBORN, MI

 Our favorite hamburgers (I like a Cheeseburger :-)  are at a place named Miller's in Dearborn, MI.  They have Tiffany-style lamps alll over (which I have posted before) but this couple was in front of us watching the Detroit Tigers play Ball--and having a Coke (which it seems most of the people do at Miller's.
My favorite is Vernor's Ginger Ale!
Families even come in there (maybe after visiting Greenfield Village???

Almost the end of the Summer......

Thought I would put a few of my flowers (and gate) on the blog along with a Hummingbird, and flowers outside the gate, too.  Actually, the Hummers have been very prolific.  There are six feeding holes in that feeder, but one Hummer will NOT let any others up there when he is already feeding.  They dive at each other--and it's quite interesting to watch them.
