Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

singing..."Here he comes...Mr. Robert" 5/30/09

I spoke to the night nurse. She said Bob had a good day. His eyes are open, he's moving his hands and feet, and he breathed all day long by himself. There is talk of moving him out of ICU soon. She said the day staff commented that his personality is beginning to show.

God is using a good person to teach us all a lesson. Let's hope we can figure out the lesson that pertains to each one of us individually. I can come up with several. One is that those who are important in my life can be gone in a split second, so treat every second as though it is your last with them. What is your lesson from this?

,Boy there are lots of lessons. The biggest one I think is that if you believe, God does listen to your prayers.
