Relay for Life
Every year this is one of my favorite sites. The reflection of the luminaries and vendor booths around the water after the sun goes down. I can’t leave until I see this.

Last night I attended the Cambridge, MN annual Relay for Life. These Relays occur all over the United States beginning in Tacoma, Washington back in 1985.
This morning I was trying to figure out what to write in my blog about this event and it turned out to be much harder than I thought it would. Now-a-days we all know someone who’s life has been touched by cancer. I could share with you my stories about the survivors I know and about the people I’ve lost but I think it would be better to let you reflect on your own stories or memories.
The man with the hat! Don’t you just love it?
This really gave us a chuckle. Hanging at one of the vendors stands, a “Redneck Wind Chime”.
I must send a special thanks to my husband’s aunt Marian for introducing us to these Relays 5 years ago and for her hard work and devotion to this cause. We have come a long way since 1985 in detecting and treating cancer but there is still a long way to go.
