In My Neighborhood Tuesday ~Something Old

In our city, we have the University of Northern Colorado (UNC). This beautiful building below is named Gunter Hall, and is one of the University’s Gyms and PE Education centers on what is termed the “Central Campus”. Build in 1926 this old brick building was built when the University was called Colorado State Teachers College. I attended this college from 1987 – 1991 and obtained a degree in Elementary Education. Teaching teachers is still something UNC is known for.

A Day For Quotes ~Perseverance

Happy Sunday everyone! I just finished visiting my friend Laurie’s blog Guessing All The Way where she put up a very inspirational post on her experiences with walking the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. She is on day 3 today and could really use any and all support we have to offer, so go give her some comment love if you have a moment!

So where did the summer go?  I can’t believe this little girl will be in 1st grade on Monday, and my Cutie Bug will be in “Pre K” (Preschool).  And don’t try putting bricks on their heads, it just doesn’t work!
