Apologies for missing this post last week, however, this week more than makes up for it! Wow!! There are tons of mid-April events… and good ones too. Sadly, I will not be joining you for these. I’m taking a couple of weekends off genealogy (since I’m really only a Weekend Warrior these days anyway). This weekend I’m spending some much needed time with my husband and my dogs and next weekend I’ll be racing in my very first 5K, The Bluemont Vineyards 3rd Annual 951′ 5K and 1/2 mile time trial. Cheer me on in spirit, but enjoy these great geni events!
