Couple of Quick Updates and a Reminder

By -
Hi Zach, not long now until you graduate. Bet it's getting really exciting for you. Not much going on out here except that Cody is visiting dad for a few days, but I am sure you already knew that. He was very excited to be going and I know it will be great for him to see everyone down there. It's Nana's 77th birthday tomorrow. She was just 70 years old the last time she and Granddad saw you. It was around Christmas I believe. The best present she could possibly get would be a call from you on her special day. She thinks of you as often as I do, which is all the time and longs to have you back in her life. Let me know if you need her number. We (Jeff, me, your Auntie Kim and Uncle Gregg) will all be heading up to Sonoma for the night to cook her dinner and help her celebrate. Then Cody gets back on Sunday.

Your dad asked me for your old passport the other week, but it had expired and been tossed long ago. Guess that means you are travelling abroad somewhere this summer. Sounds very exciting. I hope that it is somewhere magical you have never been before and that you have a wonderful time. I remember when we travelled to England with Nana and Granddad and all the historical and fun places we visited. Platform 9 3/4, the Tower and Warwick Castle. I remember all that like it was yesterday and how you and Cody marveled at how small the cars were. It was fun and exciting travelling everywhere by train. Jeff and I did that in Italy as well. We really saw a lot. I pray that one day we will have another trip to England together again to see our family. Anyway, might have a bit more news next time I write and maybe some pictures to share. I love you Zachary and hope that you are secure and happy. Be safe sweetheart.

Love Always,
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...
