My apologies.<br />My father was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia in March of 2010.<br />In October 2010, we put a team together and participated in Light the Night.<br />Light the night is the annual nationwide fundraiser and awareness event for those fighting a blood cancer. It is a unique event as participants walk in the evening while carrying a lighted balloon. At the end of the walk, you release your balloon.<br />Here are some pics from the night.</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TNx1snXPAFI/AAAAAAAAA2E/nRpavb_chxE/s1600/IMG_4477.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TNx1snXPAFI/AAAAAAAAA2E/nRpavb_chxE/s400/IMG_4477.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538431051099996242" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TNx14ELCDpI/AAAAAAAAA2M/wZOahbW5LoY/s1600/IMG_4513.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 358px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TNx14ELCDpI/AAAAAAAAA2M/wZOahbW5LoY/s400/IMG_4513.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538431247812005522" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TNx2EkXGWnI/AAAAAAAAA2U/_G2KHhaF4ZQ/s1600/IMG_4543.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TNx2EkXGWnI/AAAAAAAAA2U/_G2KHhaF4ZQ/s400/IMG_4543.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538431462610983538" border="0" /></a>Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18346852928107790091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396369038816151122.post-63162239746293160012010-08-01T18:35:00.004-05:002010-08-01T18:38:12.776-05:00Car Show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TFYFWheYaoI/AAAAAAAAA10/MMw-_T8XWPs/s1600/IMG_4358.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TFYFWheYaoI/AAAAAAAAA10/MMw-_T8XWPs/s400/IMG_4358.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500589879380699778" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TFYFEF9CpBI/AAAAAAAAA1s/xWgKCF3bYdk/s1600/IMG_4341.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TFYFEF9CpBI/AAAAAAAAA1s/xWgKCF3bYdk/s400/IMG_4341.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500589562755458066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TFYE7rAUJeI/AAAAAAAAA1k/IBkA5vlSkjs/s1600/IMG_4332.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PWECvD3dfCE/TFYE7rAUJeI/AAAAAAAAA1k/IBkA5vlSkjs/s400/IMG_4332.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500589418082477538" border="0" /></a>Wendihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18346852928107790091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396369038816151122.post-28354041080683181232010-07-21T07:33:00.004-05:002010-07-21T07:38:21.553-05:00Lake Superior<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">I visit the North Shore of Lake Superior a lot.
