When I got up at 5:00 AM on Sunday morning to go Downtown Portland, where the Race for the Cure event was being held, it was obvious that it had rained during the night. Yet when the dogs came back in it was just as obvious that it was not currently raining as they were dry.
My Daughter Roxanne, her husband David, and daughters Sarah and Brookelyn arrived at my house about 5:45 AM to take Keep-er and I down to the waterfront where the event was to be held.
We arrived down thereabout 6:30 AM so that we could go thru the booths and collect all the goodies that they were giving away, also look at stuff that was for sale. The weather was cool but dry. After making our way down one side of the booth area and working our way back up the other, meeting up with friends along the way, we arrived back at the Salmon Street fountain where we were to meet up with our other team members.
One of the things they were giving away was pink foam Energizer Bunny, Roxanne had gotten some and decided to "dress" Keep-er, She put the ears on her and Keep-er just left them there. Another one of the give always. was a pink cape that said *Heroes of Hope* by Fuze@ drink. Well Sarah couldn't be out done by her mother so she put the cape on Keep-er as well as the ears. She wore them for the WHOLE time that we were down there. I took them off her just before we got back INTO the van to come home. Keep-er was very well photographed thru out the whole walk. People kept asking if they could take her picture, then this morning low and behold we found Keep-er on the Internet news.
The walk started at 9:00 AM and we were one of the first across the start line. It took my family, along with my niece Linda K ((from Vancouver WA) Keep-er and I about an hour and a half to do the 5K walk.
Crossing the finish line in the Survivors only line.
and YES Keep-er and I were back out walking first thing this morning.
