Happy Birthday, Leslie… I mean Carol.
A couple of Sundays ago, our friend and neighbor Carol invited me to join her on the White House Garden Tour. I was thrilled to join her. It was a gorgeous day and we had a great time. I even had my picture taken with the only playground in Downtown DC.
I’m sending a subliminal message to this little girl: “I’m going to find you a playground in Downtown DC.”
But I must admit that after a ridiculous amount of photos, the highlight of my day was visiting Carol’s office. I have often said that Carol reminds me of Leslie Knope, but these pictures confirm it.
How lucky am I to have an awesome neighbor like Leslie Knope WITHOUT having to live in Pawnee, Indiana.
Happy Birthday, Carol! Now we are off for a celebratory bowl of pho.

Right down to the Madeleine Albright photo. I love it.
Tonight Carol told me that she has also recognized her favorite book, “John Adams,” on Leslie’s desk.
