Caricature Artist and 3 Characters

We spent the afternoon in Waumandee at the St. Boniface Fall Festival. An artist asked Grandpa to sit for a caricature drawing - Grandpa thought of three other "characters" he would rather have in a pencil drawing. He pulled three photos out of his billfold (they are ALWAYS close at hand) and asked that he draw them instead. Although the photos are all from last year (just a subtle hint for some new ones), I think he caught their personalities quite well using small photographs. After watching a little softball, browsing the auction items, eating brats and chicken and catching up with old friends, we left before I was too tempted with the milk shakes that always call my name. We had a rainy start to the day, but it cleared in time for all the activities. Now its back to relaxing - maybe watch a movie with a homemade MILKSHAKE!!!
