    What would a dame do? ~
    One of Websters definitions of “dame” is:
    8. Archaic. a woman of rank or authority, esp. a female ruler

    So I say that a “dame” would rule at least 1 day a month “all Girlfriends Day!” so that we could stop our busy schedules long enough to connect with the girlfriends who’ve been with us in thick, thin and everything in between!

    Thanks, Debba for this site and the reminders of the important things in life!
