I am a very lucky person. I have great friends. My friends from college (Connie, Maria, Marj, Steph, Julie) find time to see each other as often as we can. With careers, kids, and life’s other challenges – we still find time to get away and see each other. It is one of the best gifts I give myself. So it is very exciting for me to host groups of friends getting together to just be together. I have been lucky to host many groups of friends finding that precious time to be together for long walks, great dinners, and wonderful conversation. I love getting these reservations – because I know how special these moments are for all involved. We all need to find the time and keep those friendships alive – they mean so much.
