Relay for Life

-
Today was Relay for Life at "the oval". 12 hr.s of people walking to support and raise money for cancer research. The day started with a survivor ceremony to remember those who have lost the battle, and honor those who have survived or are currently fighting. Each survivor was given a t-shirt and medal to label them as a survivor. They also received a balloon with the number of years they have been cancer free on it. The youngest survivor there today was 20 months old!







Two of our favorite survivors - Mom Catton and Rev. Dan Shumway making their victory lap. I believe they are both survivors of 3 years.



Watching the balloons disappear in the sky.
More pictures coming soon!

The thing that really caught my attention, however, was not the flat screen TVs and computers and living room furniture and mattresses and jewelry. . . Like I said, I looked at this thing last night. It wasn't until I picked it up to throw it away a few minutes ago though, that I realized some of the things I had seen listed! Would you believe they have purses and sunglasses for sale on payment plans?!? This to me is just wrong! I've thought this whole craze was nuts before, but the idea of making a $...

OK, this is just crazy! Where else on earth would it get down right hot for two weeks and then snow again?!?! Yeah you guessed it! This whole week has been nasty cold with snow off and on. (I knew I shouldn't have made that last post!) Anyway, I have been trying to get Jon to let us get a more springy picture of the two of us to put on here, so here it is. Of course there's not too much green stuff around yet and it snowed two days after this picture was taken, but. . . we enjoyed the weather while we had it!
