May 22, 2008 by Elaine

You Gotta Have Friends

March 18, 2008 by Elaine

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival.” – C. S. Lewis I was able to go out to dinner with some of my girlfriends this past Saturday night. We went to one of my favorite restaurants, P.F. Chang’s. YUM-MY!…
