Islamophobia has no place here. https://www.canada.ca/.../statement-from-minister-of...
On Friday I stopped by the Cancer Survivors Daffodil Garden to help plant more bulbs. Love that Edmonds donated tons of bulbs to make sure that this place is even brighter next spring!! And it was so nice to catch up with Judie Edgar. Although I asked him to dig to help us out, [...]
