I Did It!

I don't think I need to explain what a bucket list is; so I won't. On my bucket list I have: Take a college course just for fun. Well, last night I signed up. (actually I signed Tom up too). Texas Christian University (TCU), has an extended education program for seniors. For a very nominal fee ($117), you can sign up for three four week classes, and five one time lectures, three of those being luncheons. You can also use their library, and they  throw in a (much needed), parking pass. I think that is a pretty good deal!
My official book bag!
Oh,  their mascot was in attendance at registration last night. TCU's mascot is a Horned Frog. I can remember, as a child in Texas, seeing Horned Frogs all over the place. We  called them Horny Toads. They are about the size of a frog, and they have horns on their backs. In reality though , they are not frogs at all. They are in the Lizard family. All of these activities (classes and lectures) start in the Spring. I will post again and you can help me decide which classes to sign up for, and no, they do not offer Spelling, Grammar and Sentence structure!

  2. hahhaa, you are so cute. So glad you are going to enjoy the course.
    Here in West Texas, we used to have a LOT of Horny Toads around...I haven't seen one for many years now. Wonder where they went. :)

  5. Oh that is fun Janey, I wonder what kind of course you will choose, I think history is something for you. You always are so interested in old things you see.

  6. Haha to your last sentence. :-) Sounds like fun! And you've got a while to figure out what you want to take.

  7. I've occasionally signed up for college classes here in Breckenridge at CMC. The last one I took was a sign language course a couple years ago. You make me want to do it again. (Perhaps I'll just do it vicariously through you.) Have you left the CO house until the spring?

  8. I LOVE these college courses for continued education. I and my DH have taken several on widely different topics.
