My mother lives in an assisted living facility and I spend quite a bit of time with her. Most week-day mornings I have breakfast with her. The home always has a ‘seek and find’ puzzle and we work on them while waiting for our breakfast.
Once I’ve done the puzzle, I turn the paper over and do some quick scribbles of whatever comes out of the pen that day. Mom’s friends find it entertaining to watch, and usually one or the other of them claims the drawing for themselves.
I don’t have a camera phone, but happened to have my camera on hand yesterday morning, so I took a photo of my scribbles to share with you.
Honestly, I never have any idea what I’ll draw ahead of time – I just start until something starts to form, and then usually build on that idea. There were people in my pen yesterday.

I think it’s nice that they take your drawings to keep. I know how important it is for them to feel a connection. my mom. your mom. I get it. ❤ you are a good woman
Thank you so much, Alice! It takes one to know one!
I love that you do this with your mother. I am a little disappointed because when I checked my pen I didn’t find any people at all. I did find a few tangles though so I guess I’ll just have to check different pens until I find people, or maybe cats!
Lol! Good luck with your quest for such a pen. Don’t forget to look in the spot where you normally keep your pens – there is probably one there already!
I still have one of your scribbles on the back of an OCR. You know how old that is. 😁
To old to be from me, surely? Why I was still a toddler when the PC came out. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, no matter what my birth certificate says, lol!
What a sweet story. I wish I had things coming out of my pencil so easily. When it comes to a blank piece of paper, most times I am a deer in headlights. These are wonderful!
Thank you, Lori! It comes from years of doodling during business meetings, lol.
I guess I should have kept my job years ago. Teehee!
