A fantastic thing happened. My daughter Mona planned a trip to Santa Barbara, California, for us to visit my long-time friend, Sue Lean, who moved there last March.
Mona lives in Sacramento, so we drove the six hours to Santa Barbara for our visit.
Our visit began with a trip to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. It was a beautiful day with blue skies and warm weather, so appreciated by someone from the Seattle area. That’s Sue and me in the photo above.
It was such fun to visit my dear friend, whom I miss so much.
The trip also was a terrific way to get my mind off how the Trump administration and Elon Musk are slashing through our important federal agencies. I keep reading newspapers all day long, looking for articles in opposition and what’s going on to stop him.
And, I’m writing articles how the Trump administration is harming consumer agencies such as the gutting of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and reducing staff for food safety programs.
Meanwhile, my blogger friends also are writing about what’s going on with them these days:
