Favorite place to visit in the north state and why? I’ve loved living in the North State most of my life. With beautiful lakes, rivers, mountains, and rich cultures to explore, it’s perfect for growing families. There’s always something new to discover—even a new waterfall was found by Whiskeytown Lake recently. The area has changed a lot since I was a kid, and I hope it keeps getting better.
What’s the last picture you took on your phone? It was of my grandson’s kitten climbing in the tree in front of the house. The cat always wants to go outside when we let the dog out, or when we go outside.
If you were able to live in a different country for a year, where would you go? I would love to travel through Germany and visit all the Christmas markets and learn about their traditions for a year.
What’s your guilty pleasure food? Mint chocolate chip ice cream.
What’s the most unusual job you’ve ever wanted to have? A forensic accountant for the cybercrime division. Our elderly often get scammed by scammers on the internet and over the phone. Our elderly do not always have an individual to look out for them.
If you could master any skill, what would it be? I would build Perfectly Festive Holiday Shoppe into the perfect store for everyone to enjoy, and to watch it grow to be the largest Christmas store on the West Coast. I love watching people come into the store. They start laughing and giggling at some of the ornaments and decorations. It seems to touch people’s hearts and they forget their troubles.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A pilot in the Air Force so I could travel the world.
If you could have any superpower for a day, what would it be? To create a better world to live in for my family and the world.
If you could have a lifetime supply of one thing, what would it be? Time to go get my hair cut.
If you could invite any three people (dead or alive) to dinner, who would you choose? My grandma Lorretta Neasham; I loved her stories and her personality, and she was a really good cook. James Miller was an investigator and had a bunch of rentals he used to travel, and I know he would have loved going to Scotland and Ireland. I know the two of them would have enjoyed talking about James’ travels. The third would be Jessica Boyt, my daughter, who loves to travel, and getting to meet her great-grandmother who I have shared so much about would make her understand why I miss these two people as much as I do now.
