Past Due!!!

Hey Zach, sorry I am tardy in posting a message to you sweetheart. Just so much going on right now and not all of it good. Was in San Francisco the whole last week of February for a work conference and barely had time to get anything done all that week. Trying to do some craft projects for friends and trying to get together with your brother. We met for dinner a week or so ago just to catch up. He gets so busy and sometimes doesn't even answer his texts.....then again that may be just my texts he doesn't answer because he thinks I am checking up on him, LOL. Everyone is well here and in England though Uncle Barrie will be treated for Prostate Cancer-the prognosis is good. Aunt Christine is getting ready to go back to England with Courtney this summer for a cousin's daughter's wedding and to give Courtney her senior trip. Their grandmother took Jessica to Egypt, but can't make another trip like that now so she is paying for Courtney to go to Ireland. They will stop over there after the wedding for about 5 days. Very exciting, I'm a bit jealous as I will have to wait until next year to go when we try to take Jeff's parents for a visit and show them Scotland since the family ancestry has quite a bit of history there. We will make time for London of course to see the Royal Mews and the Tower where you told the Beefeater Guard that the Crown Jewels were 'not real, because the real ones would be locked up somewhere!' Some of the things you used to say really made me laugh and I think of them often. Remember when you told the waitress at Denny's that 'my mother prefers I have milk' You were 4 yearsold, but so articulate people didn't expect it. I miss that.......... Anyway, speaking of past times, your Aunt Christine posted a picture of us from way back in the 80's that I thought you might give youa laugh. I hope it makes you smile Zachary and that you are safe and happy and enjoying school. I miss you so much and wish we could be together once more. 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...
