Santana Row is this beautiful shopping and people watching place in San jose. It’s supposed to feel like a little version of a European marketplace. It has housing above the shops, hip and expensive restaurants, and a center courtyard like area where people can gather and sit and relax. There are expensive designer stores and a beautifully landscaped boulevard. It’s a fun place to be and quite crowded on the weekends.

Today I met my friend Christina for lunch at Plutos. Plutos is a healthy restaurant where you can order salads with your favorite chosen ingredients or specially made sandwiches. We sat outside in the sunshine and just enjoyed catching up.

Christina is a friend whom I met through another mutual friend at a coffee date. But Christina and I had seen each other and smiled at one another at a literary event for our kids years before. She knew that if we ever met we would be great friends! 7 years later we’re still enjoying each others’ company! How cool is that?

Life is good! I love the girlfriend connection!! Love ya girlfriends!! xo
