A few years ago, a group of us ladies decided to get together once a month and have lunch together at a local restaurant. We want to make the effort to be sociable with each other but we also want to support the little local businesses, too. So our once a month lunch will be tomorrow and I’m especially looking forward to seeing my friend Suzi Strauss again.

Suzi moved away two years ago when her husband got a transfer to Chicago. They couldn’t sell their house because the market had started to tank, so they rented it out to a young couple.

Well, its a good thing they didn’t sell it, because her husband got laid off last month and now they’ve moved back here. I wish it was happier circumstances that brought them back to Nashville, but it will be good to see my old friend again regardless.
