Happy birthday to me!
Thank you to everyone who has been sending me birthday wishes today! I haven’t written since Mark and I arrived at my mother’s house because I have been having trouble getting on the internet, so I’m using Mom’s computer tonight. I have pictures!

Traditionally, we have gone to Tombstone for Mark’s birthday, but yesterday (Friday the 14th) the weather was unseasonably cold. The report said it would be snowy in Tombstone, so we decided to do some indoor things here in Tucson. I put together a treasure map for Mark.

Traditionally, Mark and I go to Tombstone for his birthday on March 14th, but I wasn’t here then, so we went today. In the meantime, today was Lauryn’s first day with Dad. She had asked him where he’d like to go for a drive and he wanted to go to the Aviation and Space Center in McMinville, Oregon. They have the Spruce Goose there, the plane that Howard Hughes built.

We were waiting to be assigned a couple of J-1 students, some have yet to arrive, when I went to Piggly Wiggly and started a conversation with my Jamaican cashier. I asked if she was signed up for an American Connection family and she said she had just registered but she didn’t know what it was about. I explained what American Connection families do for the students who arrived here, and she asked if we’d be her family.

Mark and I visited Southern Door today. I had made arrangements ahead of time for us to tour the Belgian Chapels in and around Brussels, WI. Alas, today was bitterly cold, overcast, and windy.
