As a homemaker, I don't find Mondays to be the horror that many people do. But at the moment I'm feeling a little more sympathy with that point of view.
I will soon find myself in the Phildadelphia area with a day to spare. A Monday, to be precise. "Ah ha!" I thought. "A perfect day for some genealogy research." It's not all that infrequently that I find myself somewhere interesting, genealogically speaking, but my time is almost always taken up by Higher Priorities, i.e. family. But I will be briefly at loose ends this time, and was looking forward to a lovely day spent with books, papers, and my computer.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, holds some important clues for one of my genealogical brick walls. My first stop I intended to be at the Lancaster County Historical Society's library. It looks promising, but it is
Closed on Mondays.
Okay, on to Plan B. The Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society also has some of the books I'm interested in. But alas, it is also
Closed on Mondays.
Well, how about a Plan C? Harrisburg is the home of the Pennsylvania State Library, which holds potential material for both my eastern and my western Pennsylvania family, and it's not all that far from Philadelphia. But, you guessed it: it is
Closed on Mondays.
Garfield would approve.
