Boston

Hey Zach!

The second half of April was taken up by a business trip to Boston. It was very unexpected as my manager had to bow out and asked if I wanted to go. It was for an operational risk conference that was quite interesting but I also had time to see some historic sites, namely all of the points of history on the Freedom Trail which was amazing. It was daunting to think that this city was basically the birth place place of the United States. I also got to catch a Red Sox game. They lost, but because we bought the tickets after the game had already started, we got them cheap and sat eight rows behind home plate! This was very exciting as the stadium is quite historic and the fans were so funny and friendly. Basically I squeezed a lot into a very short few days in Boston but came away knowing I would be back someday, as it is a beautiful city. 

Let's not forget that your beloved Nana turned 80 on April 27. We are having a celebration in May to mark the occasion. I pray with all my heart that you could reach out and wish her well. It would mean so much to her.

I still do not hear from you but I hope that you are happy and living your life to the fullest. As A child you had so much energy and optimism for life so I am sure that is carrying you through your adventures and experiences as a young adult. I just wish I could share in the creation of some of those memories. Maybe one day............ Until then be safe and be happy and know that I love you with all my heart and think of you every day of my life.

With love forever,
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...
