7/23/10

My volleyball partner Suzy & I just play volleyball
& don’t socialize much – mostly b/c of family /geographic reasons.
She has 3 daughters under 5 & we live about an hour away from each other.
Tonight we made dinner plans at her favorite restaurant in Bordentown, NJ –
Oliver’s Bistro about 45 minutes from us in Ivyland, PA.
