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.

I will play again!

T is getting better each day. The nurse said today that he is more alert when I'm around. I'm the voice of authority, I suppose. :-D When I speak, Bob listens! ha...I'm a teacher; I wouldn't have it any other way. ;-)

"Asleep at the Wheel" was the cure again today. T was nodding his head to the beat of the music. You can tell he wants to sing and play his guitar in the worse way. He was tapping his fingers as though he was playing his guitar.

T was given a guardian bell from his cousin, Leslie, and her husband, Don. The bell is from Harley Davidson. The story behind the bell is that when hung from the bike, the bad demons are trapped in the bell, and when rung, the demons fall out. The biker is protected from bad things. If given by a friend, the protection is twice as strong. The bell is hung on the end of his bed; so, every time the bed is moved, the bell rings.

Prayer from Pastor Daryl:

God of grace and glory, holy comforter, healing Spirit, we give you thanks for Bob’s continuing recovery and renewal. Continue to reach out and bring him healing through the hands of those who care for him. Radiate through his life with the light of your presence, that renewed health and strength may be his. Grant to him and those dear to him the continuing assurance of your steadfast love and mercy that they may know the peace that comes from you; through Christ our healer. Amen.
