Halloween '10

Too bad Cohen had to work on Halloween. Jeanne went with me to the church "Trunk or Treat" Halloween party. Her son Dorian, 1o months old won a prize for the cutest baby (he was a Maine Lobster) and Cohen's Chili won Best of Show in the Chili cook off.

Ben and Raena

From the arctic north Ben and Raena paid Santa Rosa a visit. Lucky it was timed perfectly while Amber was here visiting from Utah so she could see Hermano Ben too.

Sometimes in October

Sometimes people you love get in a car and drive 12 hours to spend time with you. Sometimes your dad turns 65 and your best friends daughter turns 1. Sometimes you go camping with your puppy in the Redwoods.

Orange

Yesterday I was driving home from the Oakland airport when I saw something beautiful. The sun was setting and San Francisco was illuminated in a beautiful orange glow. I could see perfectly the famous skyline with the bay bridge leading to it. A camera would never have been able to do it justice. It was so inspiring.

This thought came to mind.....

If all that you hoped and dreamed for lay waiting for you if you crossed that bridge, would you have the courage to take the first step ?

The journey is always worth it.
