The Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor

These are bad pictures, but proof I was with and shook the hand of The Honorable Sandra Day O'Connor. And that's my son, Mark with us. The talk was good and her brother was a hoot. I now want to read their book. On my list!!

Winter madness in ND

From Gina:
Just thought I would share with you one of the pictures I took on the way to Minot. This was on the last leg of our journey. We were about 60 miles out of Minot and just a couple hours ahead of the blizzard. This was actually really good visibility. The wind was so bad and in spots were could not hardly see the front of the truck. Fortunately, we got to Minot before the worst part of the storm hit. Really glad to be home to "warm" Nevada.
