Cabo Cruise Food

Here's a look at at some of the tasty food we got to eat on our Cabo San Lucas Cruise.

Happy Easter

I remember Mom making this bread when we were little and have wanted to make for a while. Usually she would put more eggs so each of us kids could have a slice with a hard boiled egg. It is called rosca de pascua and made at Easter time.

Living Legends

This years Living Legends performance was great! I love seeing all the different cultures of dance that are represented by the troupe. There's so much energy on the stage it makes me feel more alive that what normally feel. That's a good thing! :-)

The story is the same...Seasons...but this year I could tell a few of the dances were choreographed differently with some new music as well. Amazing! I was happy to see an Argentine dance with gauchos. Heehee! Mom would have loved it.

I had two cousins (second cousins) in the troupe this year, Michelle and Adriana. They are pictured above in their costumes. Very pretty! I also saw my cousin Ingrid, and her daughters McKenna, Mariah, (John and Loren only saw them on stage), my cousin Kerry (who I haven't seen in years) and met her youngest daughter Gabby. It was a small family reunion. It was a happy evening!

Calo Flamenco

Last night I went to the Calo Flamenco: Ballet de Martin Gaxiola performance at BYU. Calo Flamenco is a group from Phoenix, AZ and ended their tour at BYU.

They were amazing and danced with so much passion you could see it and not help feeling it yourself in every movement they made, every stomp of the foot, every graceful flip of the hand to the fingertips, every shoulder shrug and the expressions on their faces. I'm tempted to learn the flamenco now.

Martin Gaxiola performed a solo that was spectacular. He knows how to work a crowd. You could feel a whole range of emotion, which I cannot express easily in writing. There was power, grace, and playfulness.

The group had a live band play for them. It's a good thing I can understand Spanish so I could understand my favorite song of the evening called Sin Ti. It's a beautiful and touching song about losing a loved one...seconds, minutes, hours, days, nothing is worth living without you...there is no hope...I'll never be able to touch you again.

Birthday Weekend

I had a fun weekend, which included my birthday. I left work early on Thursday to get a massage. It was very relaxing and much needed.

I waited till midnight on the 18th to open my present from dad (I had already opened mom's gift a few days earlier...oops!). Paris, puzzles and chocolate...a very good combination.

Friday morning I slept in till just after 7 am and took my car in to get some work done on it. One of the items that needed to be fixed was replacing the airbag due to a recall. The reason being that if the bags were deployed in a front end collision, there was a possibility that small metal objects would shoot out with the airbag. Now it's all fixed and I feel safer. LOL! While my car was in the shop, I rented a car so I could drive around freely.

I grabbed some pizza and a very small ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins and enjoyed a fun lunch with Andy, Rynell and the kids. The kids had half day school, so lunch with them turned out perfect. The kids made a surprise for me that I went over for on Saturday.


I remember asking them to smile nicely, but it almost looks like they are somber. I guess they're sad I'm getting old. LOL!

After lunch I went to the movie to see Remember Me. I didn't know much about the movie. It was quite slow, but had a good message. I was very surprised at the ending and felt it was worth seeing.

Donna fixed dinner and I met up with her and a couple of friends that evening, Stephanie and Heidi. Next we drove up to Salt Lake City to galleryuaf to see Linnie's new exhibit. I enjoy going out to see Linnie's exhibits on opening nights.

To finish the evening off we went to the Melting Pot for dessert. Yummy! Sooo much chocolaty goodness.


We had the original chocolate fondue and the turtle flambeed. It was awesome to see the chocolate go up in flames.


We had all sorts of goodies to dip in the chocolate: rice crispy treats, pound cake, brownies, bananas, strawberries, marshmallows and cheesecake. Wow!


Here we all are full and satisfied, ready to go home and rest from a fun evening.

Then on Saturday, I met up with Torey and Camie for brunch. We always have a great time catching up with each other.


I'm thankful for my family and friends, and for all the birthday wishes.
