Apparently one could plan a low key Valentine's Day - we thought it reflected lack of planning?!
We exchanged cards and Bill chose a pot of Calla lillies that are enjoying the cool and drizzly day outside! This morning Rose Lynn walked out for a haircut while Bill learned a whole lot about the Avast product at a meeting of the Rock Shadows Computer Club; we were both home when the rain started up about noon.
After a lunch of leftovers (😒) we had a fun electronic visit with our daughter Janine and grandson Magnus in Calgary. We followed that up with a table game (Qwirkle). Does it get any more romantic than that?!
Hopefully we get a little more creative as the day goes on.....
Whatever Valentine's Day holds for you we hope it involves chocolate.
Special Day for Arizona
Arizona became a state on Feb. 14. 1912, becoming the 48th of the contiguous states to join the union.
Originally part of New Mexico Territory, Arizona was divided into a territory of its own in 1863. The southern portion of the state containing Tucson had been part of Mexico until 1853 when U.S. ambassador James Gadsden signed a treaty to pay $10 million to Mexico for 29,670 square miles that also included part of what is now the state of New Mexico.
Tucson was capital of the territory from 1867 to 1877, succeeding Prescott, which had held the title from 1864. Prescott became the capital once again in 1877, with Phoenix taking over in 1889.
The University of Arizona and Arizona State University were founded in 1885, followed by Northern Arizona University in 1899.
