Today was another full day of classes. During breaks I would head over to SLIG Central where I could socialize and have some coffee. Maia’s books had an impressive array of genealogical and historical books on display for purchase, which they shipped free for you! How could you beat that! So, I bought $130 worth of books… LOL.
At the end of the day, I took the lavish bus (Thanks, SLIG!) over to the Family History Library to do some squirrel hunting. Everywhere I looked were top genealogists I admire, mostly socializing, but a few were hard at work… Ha! I decided to research some US county books, so I went to that floor and to the Texas aisle to look through Upshur, Bastrop, Crosby, and Galveston counties. My friends, Amy Urman and Leslie Carney, just happened to be sitting next to me. Surprisingly, we didn’t really talk, we were so busy skimming the pages of our books and making copies onto flash drives. Today was quite productive indeed.
