Quote from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

" There is no use in trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." " I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. " When I was your age,I always did it for half an hour a day. Why,Sometimes I've believed as many as six impoissible things before breakfast."

Think about it , believe.

It was a beautiful warm sunny day, children were dressed in their Easter finest, music, fun activities, celebrities and flowers. I left Minneapolis on Thursday, designed Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the South Lawn, the presidents back yard. The President and the First Family were visiting the guests on Sunday afternoon and stopped by to shake our hand to thank us. Each year it is an honor to be involved in this exciting historic event.
