Walking out of my nail appointment last week and seeing 15-20 women sitting at the local Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Shop took me by surprise.  Two of the ladies caught my eye and we seemed to connect and we chatted for just a minute.  The group had just come from the Rancho Park and Recreation Dist...
