california: FRIENDS

while in california, I was able to catch up with numerous friends which made for wonderful times.

besides my time with hailey (saved for a later post), I stopped by desert willow and got to see most everyone that I used to work with. they seemed genuinely happy to see me which was nice and it was really great to see them.

as crazy as my life/job was while I was there, I have as many (if not more) good memories as I do bad. that was a nice realization to come to. very freeing.

here are some photos of my favorite peeps:

roberta and ramona* these ladies literally run that place for sure!
(fun fact: roberta used to be ginger rogers (yes, that ginger rogers) personal assistant for something like 18 years...isn't that cool?!)


al* my favorite bartender of ALL TIME. I miss his songs and stories but his sweet heart most of all.


clemente* this guy was my right hand man (ie: banquet manager) and while the work was hard, we had a lot of fun together. he and his wife just had their first baby and he is ecstatic about it. congratulations again!

there were others that didn't get a photo (because I am lame, not because they didn't deserve it.) but I'd like to mention:
{everyone in the kitchen}
alex (congrats to the new chef), rudy, manuel (he makes the best potato tacos and salsa EVER), and veronica
{everyone in the golf shop}
susan, paul, peg, and debbi (sorry I missed you)
{everyone else}
mike, gail (good luck with your retirement endeavors), holly, emi (where were you?) and george

I have many good memories of you all. thank you! so good to see you.
