I'm Back!

I apologize for not posting for more than a week -- with my mother visiting for a month (April 15-May 15) and RPI classes ending for the semester, I was able to sneak away for a short vacation. We went off in search of our roots, visiting Mom's birthplace and seeing where her side of the family originally settled in Iowa and Minnesota. It was a fantastic trip and I will probably do a couple of posts sometime soon to share some of the highlights.
