Sweet Baby Gabe


 Don't mess with this tough guy.


Today my baby Gabe turns 20. We sent him a box of goodies to open but I feel sad that I don't get to hug and kiss him on his birthday.


Gabe's favorite thing to do - yell in a mic.

Gabe will spend his birthday running SweaterFest, a 3 day music festival to benefit the homeless in Grand Junction. He has expanded the festival from one night into 3 days, and is quite pleased with the response from the local community and musicians in the west. Of course, his band will play. After years of screaming bands Gabe has come into his own with a bluesy, folk, rock acoustical sound. I'm sure he has a better name for the type of music he plays. I like it. (Finally! We have had to listen to some pretty horrible band practices over the years!)

I'm proud of Gabe. He is working hard at college and also dedicates a lot of his time and talent to the local community. He is a nice kid...I can still call him a kid even though he is 20 years old today.

Happy Birthday Gabe!

I love you!

Isn't it wonderful to see your son grow into a great adult? It's one of life's most rewarding experiences, I think.
