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.

The one in between the barn quilts date, we were going to go to the drive-in theater in Fish Creek for a movie, but they weren’t playing anything that Mark was interested in, so we went to a movie theater in Sturgeon Bay instead and watched the movie Reagan. Yesterday, we both played hooky from church and went to a car show down in Sturgeon Bay.

It turned out that the closest theater was only going to be showing it through tomorrow, so we decided this morning to go this afternoon.

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.
