For Zachary James Pratt

Hi Zach,  Had out of town visitors last weekend and your brother actually turned the big '25'!! I cannot believe he is that age. Makes me feel really old, lol. We are planning on going out to dinner to celebrate some time soon. Cody is kind of hard to nail down. Our out of town visitors were Chris and Matthew whose wedding we attended in Seattle last October. They met a couple on their honeymoon in the Maldives who were in Oakland for the weekend so we timed a wine-tasting trip and a visit with Nana and Granddad whom they had met at our wedding last year. It was a super hot that day but Chris and Matthew had never been wine tasting in California, let alone in Sonoma county so we had to show them all the beautiful countryside. Speaking of hot summer days, hoping you are enjoying this season, getting lots of outdoor fun and maybe some beach time. Be safe and happy sweetheart. Love and miss you, Mom xox

Hey Zach, I am sure you are looking forward to the start of summer, the weather is still cold and rainy here in Northern California and I am looking forward to some sunshine. Just got back from another tropical vacation, this time with your aunt Christine. She and I went with both her daughters and their friends to celebrate Courtney's 21st birthday. It was fun hanging out with the young people, we went on an evening cruise to see the sunset, hiked to Diamondhead for the billionth time, LOL and they got us on mopeds believe it or not! A bit dangerous at my age but I got the hang of it pretty quick having ridden one in my 20s. Spent most of the week at the beach just relaxing with my best friend. We had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. Not sure if you've made it to Hawaii this year as I think you sometimes head to Maui but hopefully if you did you had a fabulous time. There is nothing like Hawaii anywhere! It's just simply paradise. One day it woul...
