Judy Duer is ready to go!

Today starts the last four weeks of Judy Duer's career as library director for the City of Temple. August 1st will be her last day at the library because she is retiring! For those who say she's too young to retire, that may be true, but she has some terrible genes on her mom's side (much better on her dad's, so keep your fingers crossed for her and her sibs), so she wants to have some time while she is healthy and can enjoy time traveling with her husband and enjoying her family. In celebration, John and she leave for Spain on August 20th, where they will make their way to the beginning of the Camino de Santiago (Frances route) and begin a 500 mile trek across northern Spain. Hopefully they will be in Santiago in about 6 weeks, leaving them with a couple of weeks to explore the area around Toledo and see if they can afford to live there. Then they're back in Texas on October 22nd, hopefully in time for the birth of their new granddaughter, who is due on October 23rd. Lots of excitement in their future!
For those of you in the Temple area, the library staff is hosting a reception for her on August 1 from 9-11 in the McLane Room. If you have time, and are so inclined, come by and enjoy some goodies and give her a hug!
