Mr. Pat's Friends: February 2013
http://misterpatsfriends.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 23, 2013. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday". The name comes from the ancient custom of parading a fat ox through Paris on this day. The ox was to remind the people that they were not allowed to eat meat during Lent. Lent runs from Ash Wednesday thru Easter Sunday. We celebrated a few days late at Frankie Lemmon School – but we celebrated! First thing we did was to go to where the wild things are – our classroom. . We made signs, we wore masks, we changed shirts, we ate. Stolen fro...

Mr. Pat's Friends: November 2013
http://misterpatsfriends.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 18, 2013. I dream things that never were; and I say:"'Why not? In 1982, my daughter Patricia went to Kenya as a volunteer with Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA). In 1997, my daughter Diana followed suit and volunteered with the Peace Corps. In Chad, Africa. It was a life-changing experience for both. Were the experiences surreal? Yes Did they struggle? Yes Did they see the world in a whole new way? And I'm incredibly proud of both of them. Instead of just asking himself "Why? His words h...

Saturday, May 10, 2014. Ode to Special Moms. Was an American humorist who achieved great popularity for her newspaper column that described suburban home life from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s. She also published 15 books, most of which became bestsellers. Erma learned to laugh because of – or in spite of – being born with incurable polycystic kidney disease, which ultimately led to daily dialysis, a kidney transplant, and her death in 1996 at age 69. Ode to Special Moms. Patron saint, Cecilia.

Sunday, May 19, 2013. Crazy hair and zoo animals. Who feeds zoo animals despite warning signs not to? Who makes crazy hair and wears it to school? Who hunts for lions in the piano? Hush my darling, don't fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. Hush my darling, don't fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. From "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens. Better to hunt lions than for the lions to hunt you! 8212; Ancient saying (or it should be). Thanks to Lisa Wald for these terrific photos! Crumple alum...

Mr. Pat's Friends: June 2013
http://misterpatsfriends.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. It's time for goldfish-cracker counting to end and for fist-bumps all around. "Open House" Day is when the threes become fours and when the fours officially become high fives. It's also the day when the current high-fives "graduate" into schools of even higher learning. So please join them all as they rehearse for the big day. And wish them well and God speed. Sunday, June 2, 2013. To My Friends in the "Fours". From left: Ms. Forbis, Ms. White, Ms. Haley. Audwin, Dustin, Franklin.

Friday, October 25, 2013. A State Fair Mystery Story: The Wise Man's Riddle. Use slideshow controls to stop/start slides. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Triangle Run/Walk for Autism 2013. As most of you know, I volunteered over 4 years at the Frankie Lemmon School. Why? I was inspired by my granddaughter, now 20, who has high-functioning autism. I was at the Autism Run/Walk in Raleigh on Saturday, October 12th, and videoed my version of the event. Why? Because those people inspire me too! Thought to have Asp...

Thursday, April 25, 2013. Transportation: It's All About Going Places. Now that we've got wheels, it's on the road again. At least as far as Ms. Paula's roadhouse. There's music and dancing to be had! Then it's on to the Forbis and White Cafe:. A big "THANKS" to volunteer Haley Bateman for the new sign and for today's celebrity menu! Saturday, April 20, 2013. In music, a glissando. Is a glide from one pitch to another. In our class, it's a race—faster than a shooting star. Ready, set, zoooooooom! Like La...
