Hey Dad, its Halloween. Thinking about the time you hid in Grandma's garage with the scary mask and Mom sent Phillip or Doug in there to get something. Also remembering that every time we drove by Pacific Crest Cemetery you said, "You know, people are dying to get in there?" Ha ha!!

I just made a trip up through Northern California to see Jon (be there for him, Dad) and drove from Sacramento through Redding. So many memories of our vacations.
