zack

Tomorrow my son graduates from high school. that has been my focus of the week, it's been nostalgic to watch him attend his senior banquet, just as my husband and i did many years ago, we also went to the same high school as he did, it's our Alma mater.

It's exciting to see end of the high school years, then everything is open for him to discover. In four days we depart for Amsterdam, I'm looking forward to exploring a part of Europe, with him.

It is bittersweet, to see your really cool funny child, develop into a really cool funny adult, who knew that we could play part in that and succeed.I would never take much credit for how Zack has turned out, I know most of that work was done by him and I was able to be the support he needed, to grow into the person he is, and to move forward in life.

I look at my son and I see some of me, my sarcasm, my humor, honesty, and a faring temper at times. I also see my husband's patience, and his humor, and his dogmatic ways of doing things, they are definitely two peas in a pod there.

He is stubborn and enlightened, he also loses his patience, but mostly is cool headed. We know how to calm each other, and keep his dad , on his toes. He is my movie going buddy, and we share a music as a passion, and art. He and his father have become experienced sailors, I enjoy going for the ride.

I'm not sure if I exactly have the right words to express, how proud and how much I fiercely love my son.

so i will merely state it , I am very proud of my son, and love him with all my heart.

 

well, we are here, the weather is warm, muggy and wonderful, originally it was supposed to be cloudy and 50's to 60's (sorry kids I'm not good with Centigrade, so this is Fahrenheit.)

I have been in the houseboat before, never with a laptop, so we are having fun, finding the right spot to surf with our morning coffee and tea.some places on the boat, you can others, you can not.

the jet lag is gone we are well rested, and happy yesterday I had to deal with some quiet men on my end, my husband and son are the same, when they aren't feeling 100%, they are quiet.

today, alot of laughing, and a visit to Albert Cuypmarkt, the produce was fresh, i scored some cherries, ruchola(arugula), and some fresh roasted mixed nuts.,and some rechargeable batteries for our travel clock

being on the houseboat, the traffic on the canal, is just as much fun to watch.as when we walked through the markt.

later, from Amsterdam
