Happy Birthday Jeff! A Shout Out To My Son!

Happy Birthday To My Son Jeff!

As you can see from the photos above, Jeff is a terrific son as well as husband to Linet, brother to Jessica, Uncle to Sydney and Luke, and father to the wonderful German Shepard Stella!

Life is a series of special moments that when combined together, showcase all of the great things about the people who make our world better.

My son Jeff and daughter Jessica are empowered, compassionate people who bring Alex and I so much happiness, and I want to share some of the special moments we’ve had – you know, like the time that Actresses Sarah Chalke and Judy Greer asked for a picture with him in a bar!

Turns out he looked like a co-worker of theirs! Jeff is the kind of person you can approach in a bar and he will happily engage you in a conversation – because he is pure goodness through and through…

Last year we were able to celebrate with Jeff and Linet in New York…this year, we do it through social media and of course, phone calls and bad singing by me!

I love this wedding photo – and of course, we’ll always bow down to the Queen Stella!

Yes, she may have eaten more wedding cake than anyone else that night, but she IS the Queen after all!

Of course, regular readers of this blog have travelled the world with Jeff:

Alex, Jeff and I went to Tokyo, where we ate great sushi, and Jeff discovered an incredible musical Artist in the city’s famous Golden Gai district:

Joined by Jeff’s friend as well, we entered one of Tokyo’s microscopically small bars and we treated to a live musical performance!

And Jeff and I took a road trip in the summer of 2018 that included a visit to see “The Thing!”

Well, we saw it, and if you click on the story you can see it too!

If you think I don’t share these same type of adventures for my daughter’s birthday, you would be wrong of course:

Here are some of those adventures as well….like swimming with piranha fish in Mexico! Here is proof:

You can see more of our Cabo adventure, including a close encounter with whales!
