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.

Terrible twos again?

When I raised my three kids, I never thought the terrible twos' stage was funny. However, terrible twos coming from an adult, who has been on the verge of death, but back on the upswing of recovery, is funny. Anything I asked Bob today, received a "no" or "what for" response. Do you want to do some multiplication? "No"; Do you want to watch tv? "No"; Do you want to listen to music? "No"; Do you want a drink of water? "What for"; Do you want a washcloth to wipe your face? "No"


My son and I took our dog, Bentley, to visit Bob again tonight. Bob and the dog, both like seeing each other.

The staff at RoseHaven are good at keeping Bob's "rolling" schedule on time. They are very personable people too. It seems as though they care about the residents as people not just patients. Good job Rose Haven.

A prayer of healing and strength:

Dear God, Use every event in my life, even my present circumstance, to work within me to bring healing of body, mind, soul, spirit, and relationship. In every way manifest your blessing in and through my life. Amen.
