The weather was nice and Britt decided it was time to get Lily on the
golf course. Lily has had clubs in the basement for over two years,
so it was good to get them to use. Spring is finally here.

Back to sweatshirts and inside play. It is 38 and raining -- but --
it is fun to run and chase the dog with ducky!

March 28 - More pool time with Davis

2008-03-28T22:00:00.001-04:00

Everyone had a great time in Florida this week. It was nice to
have some sunshine and be able to take off the winter coats. Lily
was great at Disney and enjoyed the animals at Busch Gardens.
Grandpa and Grandma Payne's house was great and the pool was warm.
Lily is not scared of the water and has now really learned to walk.
The speed has increased and it is hard to keep up. Sue and i can
tell it has been 13 years since we have done this. Hopefully it will
turn spring soon here in Indiana.

Lily continued to be the good luck charm for Britt.

Plymouth won the 3A Indiana Girl's Basketball State Championship last
night. Yes - basketball is huge in Indiana and the girls have worked
for this goal from 5th grade. Our little small town school defeated
Indianapolis Bishop Chatard in a thriller at Conseco Fieldhouse. The
Indiana Pacers took their show on the road and high school basketball
- girl's high school basketball was center stage for the day. It was
hard to believe the huge turnout from Plymouth to drive the 2 1/2
hours. The girls were welcomed on the floor to s side of red - and
they responded with a great effort and pulled out the game in the
final 3 seconds.

They should always remember that everyone played a key role and
together defeated favored opponents. Small town USA can still defeat
the big dogs!!!!!

Also - on the Lily front - Walking is no big deal now -- Screaming is
fun (right Mom) - and Naps are way overrated.
