Birthdays and Catching Up

By -
Hi Zach, I was really hoping to hear from you, especially today. Lots of people have sent me well wishes on Facebook, many have called and sent texts, but none of the well wishes mean as much as if they were to have come from you. I miss you and wish with all my heart that hearing from you could be the one true gift I get for my birthday this year.

I am thinking you are settled into school by now and that all your classes have been sorted out. I hope everything is going really well for you. Everyone is fine up here in the Bay Area. Jeff and I spent last Saturday with your Uncle Gregg and Auntie Kim. They had just returned from their trip to Germany and the Czech Republic so we got to hear about all their travel adventures. Before that Jeff and I had been in Washington visiting his family for a reunion and then we went to San Juan Island in the Puget Sound where he grew up and saw several of his friends there. We stayed in an awesome Bed & Breakfast that had a resident cat that would sometimes stay in our room and we went whale watching and even brought some pretty nice pieces of driftwood back for the house.

Cody is doing fine in his job. He is hoping to get hired by P G & E along with Mitch who also applied. I am thinking his history and great reputation at Safeway will be a big help so cross your fingers because he really wants to do this. I think the idea of travelling around the state doing all sorts of jobs witht he company is attractive to him and he wants to be able to perhaps spread his music message this way too.

Just got back from dinner with Ryan, Alicia and our little Juliette who is now 3. We went for Sushi and she sang Happy Birthday to me which was really cute. Well that's about it for now. I will write again soon. Please be safe and kknow that I love you more than you will ever know Zach.

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...
