Award Winner

On Thursday Dad and I drove Mum to the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in downtown LA where she received a Regional Champion Award from the Southern California Association of Governments. She got the award for media and communications, for the reports she wrote for the people of the Antelope Valley to keep them informed about transportation, the economy and housing.

Here she is with her plaque.

Previous years winners have all been TV presenters from LA. This was the first year the award went to a local newspaper reporter.

I was nice and quiet until Mum had to get up and make a speech, then I decided I had to cry, so Dad had to take me out of the ballroom and watch and listen from the door.
I don't care though, that's my job.
