Getting Healthy

By -
Hi Zach, well I signed up for a gym last week. Decided that trying to workout on my own was getting too hard. I will be taking classes 3 to 4 times a week and it's right by work so I will be able to go on my way home. Lost some weight before thanksgiving and now it's time to tone up. Need to get conditioned for our backpacking trip to desolation wilderness with your Uncle Gregg, Auntie Kim and Cody. We haven't been these last two years and it's a tough 3-hour hike from 7000 feet to 8500 that can be brutal if you aren't up for it. The scenery is so pristine when you finally get there though and that makes it all worth it.

Hope you got a flu shot this year. 7 people in the Bay Area, some of them young and healthy, have already died from it. Cody and Robbie got it last week and were really sick. It's scary. Sure wish you guys were in touch, as these kinds of things really worry me.

Not much else going on here this week. By now you are probably back at school and at your job. I hope you are having a wonderful time and that things are going really well for you. As I do all the time, every minute, I miss you so much and wish you so much happiness and success. I love you with all my heart.

P.S. We went to a college bowl game at PAC Bell Park in San Francisco last week to see the Washington Huskies play BYU and we won so had to storm the field. So fun, go Dawgs!,

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...
