I have never had so much fun in a white suit. Carson City’s Inaugural Mark Twain Days banged anything I ever struck, and it’s thanks to one lady. Debra Soule, Arts & Culture Programs Manager, had the vision. Good managers manage. Great managers inspire, and Debra inspired a stellar staff, along with an army of volunteers, to stage perhaps the best Mark Twain extravaganza the world has ever seen.

Enjoy some neighborhood cheer. I love gardening. By far, my favorite garden is in Spring. What started as a few tulips six years ago, has grown to blooms garden wide.
Spring flowers don't last long, however, they bring such joy after our long winters — especially this year's.
I invest in things that bring a smile to my face — that keep me focusing on the positive— on joy — on things I can share with others. A simple flower's bloom brings me back to feeling hope and happiness.
