Thank you, Nangwaya, for your sweet poem. The colors are beautiful too.  | |
I just thought I'd pop on in, and share this poem I penned. I wanted to say, fridays here. Have a great weekend!  This scribble comes to you on behalf of the "Peaceful Pursuit Project"  at "The Brainstormers Group" | |
| This is for you, for leaving a note in my notebook... ()'''() ('o' ) (,,)  ),,) | |
| This is so cute. Doesn't it take lots of patience to figure it out? Do you draw it on paper first? I love this one, especially. | |
| noop,pat if you ant I'll send some more..i have butterfly,fish,houses like many kinds..happy you enjoy that.. | |
| I put the two up on my page. I would love two or three more if it's no trouble. | |
| I'm here to brag on my students in Punctuation Station Class at "New Horizons Academy " . They are so eager to learn. It's like they've had their foot on the brake with their engines revved up the last eleven days. Before class even started, we had Forum Challenges and all kinds of fun and games. They've learned at least six rules before class ever started. Once I opened up Lesson One, they've taken their feet off the brake pedals and they are flying! Go students, go!  | |
Thank you, Ms. Winnie. I learned from the Queen.  | |
| Hi Pat! :( I wish I'd have remembered about class starting. Have fun, and send me a note for next semester! | |
| Crissy, I'm so glad you're back. I'll try to get you a reminder out in August. | |
| Thank you so much for the raffle tickets and anniversary wishes, Pat! You're awesome! Oh, and if you get the chance, please check out my first ever contest!

| Good, you're online. I'm very glad you are here. Thank you for a wonderful experience while I was trying to learn how to write more effectively. You created very interesting and stimulating lessons and gave plenty of encouragement. Tell the princess she did a good job creating challenges and helping me learn the course material. | |
| Thank you, Viv! Your words of encouragement made my day! I have thoroughly enjoyed having you in class. It's been a splendid group of students to help me survive my first term teaching at "New Horizons Academy " . I wonder if I'll ever have such a great combination of personalities. | |
| Hi Pat! Just a quick note to say hello. Hope you're having a great day! | |

"WDC 11th B'day Auction-Bidding Closed! " was a great success! "Showering Acts of Joy Group " wishes to thank all the wonderful donors and bidders! The Ice Cream Flavor of the Day game was lots of fun. ~j  , PatrickB-new biz with MissBee , SixGun  , Giselle thanks WdC  , and a few other cagey bidders were there to watch Jay and Patrick battle it out to the last second last night. Thanks, WdC Friends, for raising funds for RAOK, Angel Army, Anniversary Reviews, PDG, Rainbow Writers, Newbie Help and Support and "Showering Acts of Joy Group " ! | |
| Was it nostalgia that made this auction so much fun? Did we remember days when it was safe to talk to strange men in vehicles with funny paint-jobs and loud speakers that announced their coming with old tunes played on giant music boxes? Did anyone scamper to the big red sofa in the front room, to look for change under the cushions, finding none, did you beat feet to your mother, pull on her dress (Yes, dress, women wore them all the time back then,) your eyes begging, and pleading for a dine. | |
| I do think the Ice Cream flavors and the guessing game brought out the child in all of us. We had some bidding against themselves just to get more chances at guessing the ice cream flavor. %u2665 Everyone enjoyed making up their own special ice cream flavor for their donated packages. We ALL had more fun than should be allowed! | |
| 50 terrific packages to bid on! Each bid earns you a guess in the ice cream "Flavor of the Day" game. Collect points to win prizes! 21 hours to go! Support "RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group" , "The WDC Angel Army" , PDG Group, Anniversary Reviews, Rainbow Writers, Newbies Help and Support, and "Showering Acts of Joy Group " Come join the fun! It all ends at midnight! | |
| OK Guys and Gals, Bothers and Sisters, Boys and Girls, Ladies and Gentlemen. I scream you scream we all scream for a chance at the ice cream. So,I have to go out for a while, this is your only chance. I put in my new bids. Last chance for Ala-mote before I steal the freezer and load it in my old truck. Oh, I feel so much like a corporate raider, maybe I will chance my name to Trump! This has been a great auction thank you for the fun. see you tonight. | |

| Time to forget about weight-watcher, or being worried about brain-freeze. Its time to dig out that old can in the back yard and take it to the Piggly Wiggly store's green counting machine. I ran out and scraped some parking meters this morning. Mr rogers is coming down the street again, his bright pink van with its giant waffle cone roof is not getting by me this time. I am unafraid of the fairy music, I am going to push my way to the front. | |

| I wrote a story a month or so ago, which meant a lot to me because I'm relatively new at writing fiction. I really was pleased with it, but haven't really received any reviews. I realized how lop-sided our growth as a writing can be if we don' receive feedback. It really makes me feel more appreciative of the review system we have here. | |
| Which story? Is it the one I'm supposed to be reviewing? | |
| Hi Pat! You are so great.When I saw that you are given the Children's badge, I read your portfolio. It is great...Your reviews are the best!!! I am Gozeel of 18. | |
| I just noticed this! I need to check my notebook more often. Thanks so much for your kind words. I'd love for you to visit my port again. I hope to visit yours in the next day or so. | |
| R.S Reviewer of the Month, hey? Sooooo great! Your reviews are wonderful. Congratulations. Kxx | |

Hey, it's spring!! I think you need a biiiig hug!! | |
| Thanks, Christina. I'll take that big hug! And pass one back to you. | |
| Congratulations on your Quill nom, Pat! So amazing to see you rewarded for all the hard work you continually deliver to the WDC community. Andrew brought me in for some help with Logistics, getting the ceremony blocked out, the categories properly weighted, break music, and judging on certain categories, although I've abstained a great deal out of fairness. Great to see you nominated and best of luck! | |
| Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'm still very nervous. It's so exciting to me. | |
| Thank you so much for everything over the past few weeks Pat. It's so hard not to grin whenever I see yours reviews and feedback coming in. I dunno where so many Showers came from, haha, but I've never been one to complain about a little scrubbing here and there. What a blessing you've been - take care and feel free to keep in touch! ~Drew | |
