#1 SMART ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2005.......................



A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam.

"Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!"

A smart ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would you say if! tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"

The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shaking her head and sweetly said "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

A lone outlook on this mornings walk. Some great and colorful shots in yesterdays photos and some great sunrise photos from this morning in the albums. On thing to remember when looking at todays photos.. there is always, ALWAYS, cause and effect, in nature. As the sun came up in the east, I tried to show you the effect on the western skies this am, including the showers 'not touching' the earth. Have a great day... we had a super nice time with family yesterday. Jake came home from Woodward and points west, and Phil and Tammy and Austyn and Heather, Madison, and Andrew came over for a last minute holiday lunch! We had a good time and it was fun to watch the boys in the pool... I had some great videos but did exactly what I did for Andrew's last Birthday. I used Ofoto to download from camera and then deleted photos not remembering that ofoto does not download from it the video... sigh. some day I will grow up.. haha.. enjoy this day we have. It will soon be gone never to be lived again...

Head Start students learn from the garden


Life - Head Start students learn from the garden
By Laura Wilson
Staff Writer

(Photo in today's Stillwater NewsPress shows Teacher Tammy Moffat and students with appropriate caption)

The Head Start community garden became a classroom without walls recently.

Carl Barnes and Al Toops of Conservation Organization for the Restoration of Native Seeds and Dick Ortez, local grower and owner of El Sueno Enterprises, guided 90 children and a dozen teachers, parents and volunteers in planting the three sisters — corn, beans and squash.

Each child planted a corn, bean or squash seed in the outdoor garden, alongside other vegetables planted by community volunteers.

CORNS has led classrooms across the United States in this traditional Indian ceremonial planting. Barnes, who was awarded the Cherokee Medal of Honor in 2001 for his work, and Toops have also assisted Cornell University in developing gardening curriculum, available on the Internet at .

The children also examined fresh-cut broccoli and green onions pulled from the garden, along with ladybugs, worms and other garden curiosities. Classes had previously planted seeds indoors, along with radishes and other seeds in their outdoor plot, and recent art projects and other activities had a gardening theme.

“Our work with the children has really been aided by having the community garden this year,” said teacher Lucille Duncan.

Participants in organizing and planting this community garden are Rachel Toops, manager of Countryside Gardens; Ilda Hershey of Sustainable Stillwater; Cara and Ron Beer, Progressive Interfaith Coalition representatives; Kelsey McCollum, Payne County Extension and participants of her Master Gardener class; Chris Brock, Head Start teacher; and Imad Abouzahr, Head Start parent.

Other volunteers include Phillip Moffat, Fred Causley, Eddie Whitehead, Jo Heiliger, Kevin Drees, Sharla Lovern and Cynthia Drescher.

Compost, seed, plants, fertilizer and drip hoses have been donated by Oklahoma State University agricultural classes, JohnnyÂ’s Selected Seeds Company and several other people and organizations.

Not sure who took this photo but the camera and several folks ran outside to see the beautiful sunset last night from Mom's home. the other pics will be online soon.

I think maybe Kara or Sharon or Phil might have taken the photo.. but then, I have been wrong on lots of things in my life!! Enjoy
