Not much new going on here. It is starting to get really dry, and the ole ground is cracking. We truly need a good soaking of rain. It only sprinkled the last 4 times it was supposed to rain, and Grandpa Moffat always said... "If we miss rain three times in a row, we are in for a long spell of dry weather". I sure hope for the sake of the cattle and grass, that this time, his saying will not be right, haha!
Heather is having a lot of backaches... Madison Ann is getting closer to arriving. The Doctor told her Madison is now head first and fixed and awaiting ... so we are now down to weeks before her arrival. Remembering my experiences, not sure Paul is aware he and Heather's life is about to change ... big time! And I love him to death. Not griping, but just thinking... I would say that about any of my boys too... Just a guy thing, guess it's cause we don't carry the child, probably, but there is something about seeing, holding, touching, the child at birth that kicks in that instinct and brings it home. Oh, yea, we think we know, we think we are ready, we think we are on the same plain as our wives, but... only when the child arrives... haha... sorry ladies... just how God made us!!
Haven't heard much from Phil, but I bet he is gardening, and making pottery, and routing semi's!
Jonathan and Randy were working on their yard last weekend, weeding and feeding, and getting ready for summer. He seems to stay really busy with work and home and Kaitlyn, too. But then Jon does his best work under pressure!
Tammy is getting ready for summer and all the things she needs to do. Also, trying to find a place for Austyn to be in school this summer. Is he really going to be 5 this December, wow.. .... ..
Paul is playing in summer league baseball with the Stillwater Police Dept's team. He is enjoying it. First time since he joined the force that he has not been on nights, therefore, now, being on the day shift, he can enjoy this. Heather and Andrew have been attending the games while she can, and of course, Andrew has met a friend his age there and enjoys playing with him while his daddy plays ball. The games are only one hour long, since there are so many teams and so few places to play in Stillwater.
Randi has been taking care of Kaitlyn and their home. She is a really good mom and truly enjoys taking care of Kaitlyn. They make a great pair and you can really tell they "get along" when visiting too. Kaitlyn does not what to leave her mom's arms, and if she does, and gets in a bind in some way, only mom can fix it.. and that's ok, cuz that's what mom's do best!!
Jake attended a Crawfish Boil held at his work place, the OSU Vet. Teaching Hospital on campus of OSU yesterday. The Boil was put on by Science Diet for the students, faculty and staff, and I heard there were scores of folks there and lots of food, not just Crawfish, but other things as well. Jake loves New Orleans...
All I know for now... Enjoy the day!

Editorial: Baylor Lady Bears make Texas proud
04-06-2005 Editorial: Baylor Lady Bears make Texas proud
There´s much joy at Washington-on-the-Brazos today.
The Baylor Lady Bears are champions of the women´s basketball world after a resounding 84-62 victory over Michigan State on Tuesday night in Indianapolis.
The 22-point victory is the second-highest winning margin in an NCAA championship game after Tennessee´s 23-point win over Louisiana Tech in 1987. Baylor is only the fourth team (the third women´s team) to ever beat three No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament en route to the title.
Baylor had expected to meet perennial powerhouse Tennessee in the finals - well, actually, most folks thought No. 1 LSU would play the Lady Vols for the title - but Michigan State rallied from 16 down to stun the Rocky Toppers after Baylor came from 15 back to upset LSU.
There would be no rallying Tuesday night as Baylor got the big Michiganders down early and never let them up.
The Lady Bears finished the season with a sparkling 33-3 record including three wins over Texas Tech, the last one on a last-second shot in the Big 12 Tournament finals.
It was an extra sweet victory for the fiery and fiesty Baylor coach, Kim Mulkey-Robertson (oddly enough, smartly outfitted in a blue pant suit of a color befitting North Carolina State - but we won´t nitpick).
The former Louisiana Tech star became the first woman to ever play for a national champion and coach one was well, joining former North Carolina coach Dean Smith (he played at UNC as well) and Texas Tech´s Bobby Knight (he played for the 1960 champs at Ohio State and coached Indiana to three titles) in an elite group.
It was sweeter, still, in that Louisiana Tech somewhat insultingly offered her only a one-year contract to succeed Hall of Famer Leon Barmore as head coach five years ago. Coincidentally, former Louisiana Tech head coach Sonja Hogg once coached at Baylor.
After leading Hammond, La. to four state titles, Mrs. Mulkey-Robertson played for Louisiana Tech and was a 5-4 sophomore on the 1981 team that beat Kansas, 70-39 for the championship of the Plainview Queens Classic.
During her 19 years at Louisiana Tech, the team went to the Final Four 11 times and won three national titles, two while she was playing. She also was a summa cum laude graduate and two time Academic All-American who, not surprisingly, demands the very best from her players.
She has coached Baylor to a sparkling 131-38 record in five years.
The mother of two is married to a former Louisiana Tech quarterback.
After the men´s basketball scandal (including one player killing another) at Baylor and its football team falling on hard times, the achievement Tuesday night brings a much-neeed morale boost to the Waco institution.
We salute the Baylor Lady Bears for putting another jewel in the crown of the Lone Star State. Posted to MyPlainview: APRIL 06, 2005 14:59 CST
