Some things end, others begin

Well, today was my last day at the Arlington Campus Library.  I do hope to be back to visit, of course though.  I don't start at the Smithsonian until June 1st, so I've got a bit of a break before all that starts.  Tomorrow, though, we're off to Ogden, outside of Salt Lake City, to visit Mike's mom!  I'm really looking forward to it.  Mike's mom is a wonderful, sweet lady and she's always been so kind to me.  I think we'll have a grand time.  Mike is the oldest of seven children and all his brothers and sisters will be there, so it's a kind of a family reunion for everyone, although an unofficial one.  We don't really have any set plans, we're just going to play it by ear and do what seems like fun at the time.  I do hope we'll be able to do some hiking in the canyons though, and maybe go into Salt Lake City.  We'll see.  Mostly we'll be catching up with family.  Stay tuned for pictures and updates.
