FCAAP


The Fort Collins Area Alumni Panhellenic 
put on their annual scholarship brunch 
yesterday at the Country Club.  
It must have been very difficult for the 
committee to select just one scholarship winner
from that outstanding group of Greek young women!

It was our turn to host this year, 
so the Kappa Delta's selected our 
coalition with the Girl Scouts as our theme.
I was in charge of displays, so I located all 
the uniforms my family has acquired.
My daughter's Daisy apron and Brownie vest
from the early 2000's;
my Brownie and Junior uniforms from the early 1970's
and my mother's intermediate uniform from the mid 1950's.
Everything was included:  sashes, badges, pins, belts.

Looking for the Positive

I've been in a bit of a funk lately
and this continued snow isn't helping...
Yesterday, I decided to do something 
about my mood, so I grabbed my camera
and went hunting for the beauty of the day.
This is what I found :-)

It Just Keeps Coming...

Snow, Snow Go Away
Come Again Another Day
(like some time next October)

April Showers, er, I mean, Snow Advisories...


The critters were out this morning before the snow kicked back up.  I took this photo around 8:00 am and, since then, we've had about 2 more inches of snow. Currently we are under a snow advisory until midnight.  It's mid-April...

Winter is moving in on Spring...

We received about a foot of snow here in the Fort - 
note the icicles under the table...
School was on a 2 hour delay, 
but not cancelled. 
Lots of disappointed kids around here :-)

The Big Storm???

Six to eleven inches???
More like a dusting...

Spring... Maybe...

These hedge roses, along with many other
shrubs and trees in my yard,
are just starting to show signs of 
waking from their winter's rest.

Wonder what they will look like after
tomorrow's forecasted heavy snowstorm.
