Get Out the Polish!
When presented with a stack of silver bowls that are tarnished, the next step is to get out the silver polish. During my college years, one of my dearest friends gave me a place to come visit during the semester as my parents lived out of state. Her mother discovered that I enjoyed polishing silver. Because, while there was a bit of labor and dirty hands involved, the result was worth it. Mrs. Warwick had an amazing collection of silver pieces, and we would polish all of it for the holiday season ahead – Thanksgiving through New Year through Easter. You see, if the polish job is done well, the silver pieces stay pretty shiny for 6-8 months allowing them to look their best and make the event more special.

It was my honor to work with Representative Keith Bell over the last 8 years of my career. While he never represented Sunnyvale where I live, in my ways I counted him as my representative.
