Race for the Cure

It has been awhile since I have posted anything. Sorry about that. We had a touch of sickness, fever with a sore throat that lasted forever, but we are all better, and just in time. Today was the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Portland. On the loud speaker they said it was the largest race on the west coast, though the portion that we do is not much of a race. It is very crowded and most of the time it is just strolling, but it is amazing the number of people that participate to supprt breast cancer awareness and research. Survivors, family memebers, family and friends honoring loved ones that have passed on, and family and friends celebrating those who have conquered this disease. They did not give an estimated number as they wait until the race is over, but they were saying that there were record numbers of survivors crossing the finishing line, and are thinking this is the biggest ever. We had a great time and were glad that we were able to go and support Linda and others at church and in our families who have had breast cancer. Afterwards, we wandered around Saturday Market for awhile and then ate at Dan and Louis Oyster Bar. I do not think I will be needing dinner tonight!






We love you Linda! Congratulations on 14 years! (In think it is 14?)
