I love the Fall. The leaves changing colors the wind getting colder. Most people like the spring and summer months. I think this is the best time of year.

Halloween. I can remember trick or treating with Amy. Nothing so different than anyone else. Rickman always had a carnival in the gym. Those were alot of fun. When we had a high school the seniors had a haunted house in the basement. Every grade had a booth of some sort of game. There was a cake walk and candied apples. The costumes were always the best. During school you got to dress up and go to all the other rooms and show off. Oh, to be a kid! I wish I could go back and do that again. Those were the days when it seemed you were always going to be a kid.

Ofcourse, you don't get to just keep treating. After we got the car we would fill it full of people and go egging or rolling somebody's yard. Somebody would have a tractor and have a hay ride. Those were fun times. You didn't care about anything except having a good time.

After we started going to Monterey we didn't go out much together on Halloween. I can remember the time Amy was heading out to Hanging Limb. She was taking all kinds of shit. Tolit paper, eggs anything she could think of. She opens the freezer pulls out chicken livers. I asked her what she was planning to do with them. She just said, "I don't know. I'm sure I'll think of something." Well I'm not sure what happened that night but the chicken livers; WHERE NOT USED! We only figured this out a couple WEEKS later. They had been put in the trunk of the car and forgotten about. That smell stayed in that car for a year! I'm not kidding it was GAG!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween. I will be thinking of my sister. She was scared of everything. She laughed with everyone. I'm sure some of you have a good story about something she did. Hold that close and remember to tell people you love them for being who they are.
