#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.
ÂOur 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, JohnnyÂs 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. There was a small front moving out of panhandle into OK last night and when I got up this am at 4:30 it was actually sprinkling here too!! but didn't last long.. enjoy the day... 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

Some of Great Grandma Moffat's flowers by her garage last evening in the sitting sun... We all went over to eat homemade Ice Cream and Spanish Rice, etc at the Robinson/Moffat gathering Sharon Robinson and Marilyn started several months ago. A great time was had by all. Food was Awesome and fellowship was GREAT!! Morgan is heading to Japan for a month in August to meet and greet and see about possibilities of studing there next year or so in Kito.. bet this is not spelled correctly... Kara is now in her third week of marriage and all is well, Micheal was last heard from heading to Houston with girlfriend to try to increase his dsl business... etc... Lawrence was on business trip, Madison was sick, Jon's did not make it, and Jake is working 7 days a week, sunup to sundown in panhandle of OK on a triple decker oil rig that he and two other welders are getting repaired on location so the company can get to drilling. Talk about pressure.. haha...
