Summer is almost here...

Hey Zach, it's almost summer but I wish the weather would act like it. It's been cold and rainy here and we are hearing about these awful tornadoes hitting all over the country. Scary. I miss Hawaii and the good weather we had there. Hope all is going well and that you are not stressing over school as you near the end of the year. I hope being a sophomore has been a fabulous experience and that you were able to to join all of the activities and groups that you love so much. I am a big Glee fan and I can't help but think of you and your talents when I watch that show. I will be watching all the reruns over the summer.

We are headed over to your Uncle Gregg and Auntie Kim's for a BBQ tonight. Your cousin Hannah and her friend Rachael are here from England and have been staying there whilst touring around. We managed to have dinner with them last week and heard about their unexpectedly snowy trip to Yosemite. You wouldn't think to see snow there in May but they did and were glad to borrow warm clothes from your aunt and uncle or they would have frozen. Especially since they were camping in Curry Village. On Sunday, Lisa and I are throwing an 80's style jewelry party where everyone has to dress up from that decade in order to win credits and prizes, etc. Hope that goes well. I bet you have lots of things planned for this weekend with your new school friends and neighbors. I will be thinking about you as always and hope you have a fabulous weekend. I know I keep saying it, but it never changes, I love you and miss you more than anything Zach and I truly wish we could be together or just talk. Please get in touch when you can, I will always be here for you. I posted a picture of us in Hawaii because this was the place we saw the dolphins and it made me think of when we all swam with them in Mexico and how magical that was.

I love you,
Mom

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...
