April 2022

April was still rainy, cold, and somewhat snowy.  But we could see some spring sunshine on the horizon.  The week before Easter, Dave and I went back to work at Honey Baked Hams.  We finished up the day before Easter, and they asked us both to stay on part time working about 12 to 20 hours a week, (doing a little of everything, i.e.: registers, back of the house catering production, and catering deliveries).  We agreed, as long as they knew that we had other obligations on our calendar.  And they agreed that we could have any time off we wanted.  So, our new life as part time employees at Honey Baked Ham began.  

On the 23rd of April, we left the cold wet temps of Utah and flew to Cabo, MEXICO for a week of wonderful warmth.  We were able to secure our usual room at Hacienda Encanda.  Nothing in front of our view but the pool and the Pacific Ocean.  We were happy to just relax and warm our bodies.

Every morning, Dave made his way down to the pool for his early morning swim, (and to check our the local beauties).

I have this friend, (he was a vendor I met when I worked at WF), and he also goes to Cabo. We have this joke that when one of us is in Cabo, we send a photo of this little taco place with the caption, "Guess where I am, and your not".  This year when I got the photo, I called him and asked, "Are you down here?"  He said, "Yes, are you?" We both laughed so hard at what the chances were that we both were in Cabo at the same time. We met up Sunday morning at Gardenia's for lunch.

It was great to met up with a friend from Utah.  And it was even better for Dave to have a guy friend to pal around with.  

First thing every morning starting Monday, Dave Argyle would call up Dave and say, "Are you up and ready for the pool?  Dave would say,  "Of course, why aren't you here yet".  Dave A would jump in his rental hurry up, and the two of them would spend the morning in the pool checking our the scenery, the girls, laughing, and so on.  Then when they were ready to go out to eat, they'd come in get dress and the three of use would hit the town.

One day, we went down to town and spent the day at the beach.  It was so busy and noisy.  But the two of them loved it.  They would run out to the water, splash around like teenagers, them come back to their shaded chairs, order food and soda, check out the people walking down the beach, then do it all over again.  At the end of the day, we drove up to Todos Santos and had dinner with a couple a women that Dave A had met.  It was a gread night and the 5 of us laughed and told lots of stories.  Saturday the 30th, came to soon, and the three of us all had to pack our bags and head north to the airport.  Dave A was on a different airlne, but I'm sure if he could have figured out a way to change airlines and get seated next to Dave he would have.

Well May is ready to start, hopefully spring and summer are not far behind.
