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 98

Bob is doing so well. He had quite the sense of humor this evening. He told my son, Daniel, that he should ask one of the nurses for a date because she was "hot".

The simple things are difficult to comprehend; however, he seems to understand/remember more difficult concepts. For example, he still can't put a name to things like a spoon, fork, or bed. He can read the words easily. I'm trying to get him to match words with pictures. He does it with lots of coaxing. He said tonight that shaving was a new thing for him to learn.

Have you checked out travel-mobility.com yet? Check out our new website. Pass it on too. We'd appreciate it.

Bob walked again today. He gets excited about it Walking also gets him very winded.


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.
