This whole "stay at home" and "work from home" with my kids for 60+ days was a bit much.  Some moments were fine but after hearing the 50th joke in a row while I'm trying to do a radio show from my closet at the same time...it was not always an easy day.  After the first week, I desperately wanted to go meet up with a friend and have coffee but knew I'd have to wait.

I missed seeing my friends.  I missed having an hour (or a few) where I just sit and chat with my friends about life.  I missed seeing people...in general.  Honestly, my reaction to seeing people for the first time again since Covid-19 happened probably startled people because I was just blurting out..."Oh, a real person!  Hi, real person.".  It sounds silly but it's what I did.  A lot.

Now that life and our Minnesota world is slowly starting to open back up, I've been dreaming of where to meet up with my friends again.  I've got my favorites but wondered, "Where does everyone else go?".  I got a lot of great comments sent to me and places that women love to hang out with their friends.  As you are making plans to meet up with your friends and trying to decide on a place, check out the list below and see if any of these might work.
