I have had this picture on my fridge for more than 20 years.
It was taken the day Dad, Mom and Aunt Margaret left California for Washington.
The day they all started a new chapter in their lives.
Retired, they left California and headed north.
Months later they finally settled in Oregon. The place Mom and Dad were headed for back in 1953 when they got stuck in California with no money.
We joke now that it only took them 37 years to make it 'home'.
