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.

End of week thirteen

Bob's nurses love attending to him, because he improves everyday, and they can see his improvements each day.

I didn't have my camera this evening to take a picture of Bob lying in bed reading the newspaper with my glasses on his nose. It was a perfect picture that would have fooled anyone who didn't know he is a recovering stroke survivor.

He is talking some on the phone now; however, he's not too speedy on recall, and he goes off on tangents, but, he's holding the phone like he hasn't missed a beat.

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.
