We picked the last of the tomatoes, cucumbers, and cabbage on Tuesday, Wednesday the temperatures began to drop dramatically, and we woke up to snow this morning (Thursday, Oct 25, 2012). I doubt the snow will last long and temperatures this time of year fluctuate a lot in Utah.
Patty and I went out this afternoon and supervised the erection of a snowman with Roby and Tabitha. The snow was perfect for packing into a “Frosty,” and the kids had great fun.
Although genealogists usually attempt to try to do most of their “cousin visiting” in the summer, the colder months are our time to snuggle up in a warm blanket, chase ancestors on the computer and compile our genealogy databases. There’s a big exception to all that, and that’s the annual Salt Lake Christmas Tour which takes place the first full week of December each year. Now in it’s 28th year, we expect somewhere between 60 and 90 researchers to settle in at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel again this year, working side-by-side with a dozen professional genealogists for a full week of intense research at the Family History Library.
We’ve still got space for more folks on the Christmas Tour. To learn all about it, click here.
