It was a beautiful day, perfect weather, not too hot, and not many people were at Santana Row in the morning when I got there. It was quiet and beautiful, I always feel like I am in Europe for the day! However, when I was getting ready I got nervous...It
is higher end and I get a little anxiety about being judged, but then I
thought I have to be me, relax and be comfortable...be IN your own skin
and enjoy your day! So I did! And so I just put on one of my gypsy tops and comfy pants.
A couple of my oldest friends (meaning I have known them for like 24 years) took me for a FANTABULOUS lunch at the Left Bank the French place in Santana Row, I love it! MI had me try a champaign with grand marnier and ohmygawd fantastic! NEW love! The waiter was GREAT, he was on the ball and they didn't mind that we sat a LONG time to talk and catch up. You know how bitter sweet life can be. Mona had lost her mom this year, and she has TONS of things that she bought and never used that she has to get rid of. She had garage sales but then thought of MI and I and what we like. She had perfect gifts for us. Stories of her mom and dad and a book she had made about their life for the Funeral. The funny thing about her mom, her name was Juanita, my middle name, and she LOVED Halloween like I do...I got a watch with a spider web and spider that is the second hand passed down to me! LOL
These are moments that cement friendships. We know each other so well, and yet not at all. It is amazing. Gifts are great, but people and sharing our lives are much richer! I was also excited that MI finally got a new car...it is BEAUTIFUL and ORANGE!!!!
