Saturday Coffee Clatches Continue
We meet every Saturday morning at 9 am at Le Boulanger at San Felipe and Yerba Buena.  There is a Starbucks across from it if you need something "special" to go with your bagel or pastry. Our field trip this month will be March 21st to Noah's Bagels in El Paseo de Saratoga.  Robin, our Coffee Coordinator (AKA Coffee Wizard), advises that there is a consignment store, pet store, REI, and many other stores for us to check out after coffee.

Advice for Girlfriends

****************************************************************

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Love the ones who don't just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Kiss slowly.
Forgive quickly.
God never said life would be easy.
He just promised it would be worth it.

****************************************************************

I am only as strong as the coffee I drink,
the hair spray I use, and the friends I have.
To the cool women that have touched my life.
Here's to you!
