Yes, I did have cancer...No, I do not have cancer now. So, yes, that makes me a cancer survivor. But mine was the easy way. I had surgery and that was it. No chemo, no radiation, I didn't lose my hair, I just had surgery and thankfully all the cancer was contained and removed. And now, 7 years later I still have a clean bill of health.
There is always a Survivor's Reception to kind of kick off the walk, and it's catered by Outback. T
After the reception, the survivor's walk the first lap of the relay...but it's led by the Colonial Williamsburg Fife & Drum Corp. I don't think that any other Relay for Life has anything that cool to lead off the first lap.
The Fife & Drum perform all around Colonial Williamsburg but it's still really neat to see them perform in person.
But it's also a very touching and moving ceremony. Especially the young kids. And it's incredible to look out into this room of about 500 people and know that 1/2 of them are cancer survivors.
But I finished the first one and it fits great so I am getting ready to start the 2nd one. The first one took me 6 days to finish it but I wasn't working on it for a great length of time each sitting, so I'm hoping to finish the second one by the middle of next week. They came out pretty nice, I think, and I didn't make too many modifications to the pattern. And I love the way this colorway worked up.

Congrats to you and your father inlaw, but the sock and that adorable pup of yours are what really caught my eye!
Congratulations on your seven year anniversary. Let's hope it stays that way for a LONG time.
