Thanksgiving

By -

Hey Zach, it's that time of year again where we give thanks for all the good things in our lives. For me that would be that my family are all healthy and happy though I wish I could see you to validate that. Cody mentioned you have some friends coming in to visit next week. I am sure that will be a lot of fun. Nana and Granddad will join us for dinner and maybe my friend Cori from work and her husband. Uncle Gregg & Auntie Kim are spending Thanksgiving at their home in Hawaii so we will miss them, but I'll bet they will enjoy the sunshine and tropical weather over there.


This weekend is Michelle's wedding and Brittany is just as excited about the event. I am finishing up the table decorations tonight as Lisa, Jen and I have decoration duties on Sunday. I will post pictures as soon as I have some.


Guess you might have heard that unfortunately Cody got into a rear-end accident in the truck. He wasn't hurt thank goodness but the truck was totalled. Fortunately there will be enough insurance money to buy a small car so we will need to start researching vehicles. Cody has decided to look for something that gets good gas mileage. I think he has realized that is where most of his paycheck was going.


Wish I had more news for you and I am sorry it's been so long since I have written. Lots going on as you can read. I have attached a picture of Ryan and Alicia's brand new daughter Juliette. We have visited several times and she is just precious. Hope you can meet her some day. Anyway, I had better get going. I want you to know that I miss you and love you very much Zachary and I pray every day that we can one day have a loving relationship.

Waiting for Spring

Hi Zach, we are waiting for spring to come here in Benicia as most days have been  rainy and chilly. Your mom has always loved beach weather and can’t wait for summer lol. Hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying the outdoors. Aside from celebrating Jeff’s 54th birthday, February was fairly quiet around here. I have been working a lot of shifts at the winery which is still the best job ever and Jeff and I have been preparing for the first vacation. we have had alone together in two years. We flew down to Curaçao, which is part of the Netherland Antilles and is close to Aruba. We had a very relaxing and amazing time in the warm weather and on the beautiful beaches. Came home to that drizzly chill and are back to waiting for sunshine. I often wonder if you travel for fun and if so, what places you have discovered and if you have any favorites. We have a couple more trips coming up this year, one to visit your uncle Gregg and auntie Kim now that they live in Portugal. Al...

Holiday Spirit

  Dear Zach, hoping you got the Christmas and birthday cards I sent to you. Cannot believe you are 30 years old now. I can’t really say time has flown given  that not being able to see you has left a huge void in our lives. The holiday season is always bittersweet in that our family always finds ways to celebrate and love one another, but there  are always thoughts of missing  you intertwined.  Jeff and I flew Cody down for the Benicia annual Christmas tree lighting and to see Nana and granddad. It was a short but very special weekend. I have included the video where Cody surprised your grandparents with his visit. It made them both so happy. It was Jeff’s family’s turn for Christmas so we flew up to Washington to be with his nephew, Maxon and the rest of the family. Cody was also able to spend time with his daughter to unwrap her Christmas presents. In January, we went to a Robert Burns night, celebrating Jeff’s Scottish heritage. There was plenty of ...

When I’m Sixty-Four.

Hi Zach, well, now I am officially the age of a Beatles song. It’s hard to believe I’m that old and have yet to reunite with you. It’s been almost 15 years.  I think of you every day of my life and pray that you are happy and loved.  Of course, October means Halloween, one of my favorite holidays. We met up with friends to celebrate and I dressed as Beth from the television show Yellowstone. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Earlier in the month your aunt Christine and I went to a meet and greet for the actor Sam Heughan from outlander. It’s a show. We are both obsessed with that takes place in 18th century Scotland around the clan Fraser. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea that Jeff’s family are Fraser’s and Fraser is his younger brother‘s and father’s middle name. My head exploded lol. Thanksgiving was quiet as Nana and granddad don’t eat much so taking them to a restaurant where they are serving a huge meal is not ideal. Instead, Jeff and I spent the...
