December 22, 2012 Today was the day to bring lesbians together of all ages who would like to go to dinners, movies, walks, breakfast, start a book group, picnics, good Theater, or classical music and even the opera. As I was perusing the various groups I clearly noticed, that lesbians of all ages were left out of the picture. Hey, I know I'm still active and I bet all of you are too. No point counting the years when the fun will go away, let's enjoy these years to the fullest and get back into l …
