Published every Thursday to help you enjoy  

life in the greater Sam Fernando Valley area!  

 

Ladies - beware when dining out - do not put your purse on the back of your chair!  Friends of mine were in a restaurant in Woodland Hills the other night busy chatting away and enjoying the food.  When they got up to leave, one of the purses that had  been on the back of the chair was  gone.  And, I have heard this happening at two other local  restaurants.
