Sketch Text:
When I was a young lad mom and dad would, on a whim most often, load me into the Buick and head to the Dairy Queen in my home town of Smyrna, GA.
This would only happen on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evening on a hot, Georgia summer day. Come to think of it, I don't recall the DQ being open on Sundays back then.
Anyway, I always got a plain vanilla cone and the big folk got “nanner splits”. I wasn't fond of “nanners”.
Tonight, about 09:30, Ben and I got the urge for a cone and reinacted the family tradition. Yes, dogs like 'em too.

hello don, i found you blog from one of your watercolors someone pinned on pinterest a few days ago and immediately saved it in my bookmarks, i’ve recently gotten interested in watercolor and am trying to soak up all the knowledge i can so i can hone my skills a little, anyways tonight during my “idle minutes” i decided to come and take a closer look at some of your paintings (which are lovely btw) but instead ended up getting caught up in the stories that went along with them, i found them and you to be very entertaining, just thought i’d let you know
also i just tried to buy an edition of idle minutes in print and when i got to paypal to check out it said that “this recipient is currently unable to receive money”, do you know how to fix this? i’d love to have the first edition!
Hi Pam,
You’re sweet as can be! Thanks for the lovely comment and I’m glad you enjoyed the posts. It sends my heart a flutter.
I’m workin’ on that problem…email me and I’ll instruct you on what to do.
Great sketch – you do greta landscapes too… but what floats my boat, as they say, is everyday stuff – -Danny Gregory is right
sorry for typo – - who is Greta Landscapes ?! sounds exotic . . . .
Thanks Rowland and good to hear from you
Your typo…sounds like a girl right out of an old James Bond movie lol!
