This last Wednesday, the Pima Air & Space Museum set a new record for the largest paper airplane. It was 45 feet long, had a wingspan of 24 feet and weighed 800 pounds. It was made of paper called falcon board, which is described as "similar to a pizza box." 12-year-old Arturo Valdenegro of Tucson won a contest by folding the original from a sheet of regular paper. The Museum people used that design to make the giant version.

This is a cherry tree in bloom for SPRING! Yes, it's SPRING!!! Winter is over. Many see this as when life begins again. That brings an announcement. On this first day of SPRING, Melody Mathis was born. She is the daughter of our friends Jason and Jaime from Maryland.

All of you know Gordie the Social Tortie. He is a sulcata tortoise. They are native to the Sahara Desert - but Gordie chooses to live with all of us in Arizona. This little sulcata, born a few weeks ago, lives at a museum of science in Kiev. That's in the Ukraine, and the Ukraine is in Russia, and Russia is in both Europe and Asia, which are on the planet Earth, and .... Well, this sulcata tortoise is actually two tortoises inside the same shell. They have separate heads, separate hearts, separate lungs, etc. One side has been named Menga and the other side Lenka.
