Happy New Year --Things I am Doing This Week


  • I am out walking the district -- both to talk with constituents and to inventory sidewalks and streets-- and to remind people about the tree recycling program.
  • Saw a young couple decorate the gazebo at Good Neighbor Park for their wedding later in the day. That gazebo and lights in the trees have made a big difference in the park.
  • Getting ready for my daughter's wedding this coming Saturday. Wow. I still can't believe that I am going to be a mother-in-law.
  • Working with Historical Society of Long Beach on bringing a Smithsonian exhibit here in January.
  • Writing more grants for funding Rosie the Riveter Parka and Interpretive Center.
  • Trying to get organized for the coming year.
  • Seeing lots of movies. So far my favorite is "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep.
  • Finishing my video presentation: Early Aviation in Long Beach -- so I can show it when I do book signings.
  • Watching the squirrel who has taken up residence in the tree outside my office window. He is so busy out there. (No, that isn't a photo of my squirrel -- but I thought it was funny...)
  • Being thankful for another wonderful year of life with my family and friends!
