You have heard the old saying: It all started with one...... Well, in my case it all started with my wife giving me one Nutcracker for Christmas. Since then, my collection has started expanding. I just acquired 2 more a couple of days ago. I am increasing my number by 2 to 4 a year. Some day, I hope to acquire some nutcrackers from the Black Forest in Germany. Right now, I am content with the offerings in the local shops.
Every year the Cappuccino Cruisers car club has a car show and toy run at Les Schwab tires to benefit the Folsom food bank. Due to the great weather, this year was a resounding success.

I am a native of Elko, Nevada who was relocated by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1970 to Northern California. I was a contract administrator on Lewiston Dam, worked on water distribution systems in Placerville and culminated as a Budget Analyst in Sacramento. I am currently involved with my Mustang car club and doing volunteer work on various things such as the California International Marathon and the Western States 100 mile race, the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and the Sacramento Zoo.
