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.

Day 34

Bob had a quiet day today. He was awake most of the day. He's moving his hands and feet when he wants not when asked.


Bob just made my day! As I was typing this, I glanced up at him, he moved his head and eyes to look directly at me, then he pursed his lips like he wanted a kiss. Of course, I granted his wish immediately. I washed his face with a warm washcloth too, now, he's fast to sleep.


I told him that he's going to be a chapter in a textbook for aneurysm recovery. He's going to be a survivor who doesn't fit in the textbook recovery (or lack of recovery) scores. He'll be in a scale all his own. It's the scale best suited for hard-working people who are farmers at heart. :o)


I can feel all of your prayers being said. Please continue praying. Bob has a loooonnnng way to go. But, with your help, he'll be predicting the grain and cattle market in no time.
