Nate said he was bored after our stay at the garden. I told him I’ll read the story of Owen and Mzee, a baby hippo and a 130-year old turtle. It ‘s a true story compiled in a book with lots of photos. He likes it because he has the same name as the baby hippo. He was christened Nathaniel Owen. It’s one of the Christmas gifts I gave him.
When we were done reading, I gave my notebook and a ballpen and he started drawing. I rather like the dotted greeting of Merry Christmas. Boy, he can draw, I took a photo…of course.

Good to see Nate drawing well. Let’s hope he can develop that into real artistic talent later.
Best wishes, Pete.

I hope you keep these doodles. When I taught at an art college, students were proud to show me doodles their moms had saved from their childhoods.

My notebook is already full. Full of book titles that I read before. Maybe I’ll just cut it and have it framed.
