Short day....

My visit was only an hour today. :( I am a board member of an organization called Umpqua Valley disAbilities Network. How appropriate, hunh?


I visited Bob in the middle of his occupational therapy session. Bob's shoulders have little range of motion. The therapist tried to get Bob to lift a weighted bar. But, Bob had his hundred delay excuses just like he uses with me. The therapist next had Bob put playing cards in order. Don't ask me why he gives Bob that simple task. Bob looks like he is in deep thought when doing it but, he gets it with 100% accuracy everytime; and I might add for months now. Any educator knows, it's time to move on to a more difficult task.


Bob and I ate K together, then he fell fast asleep. He was mentally tired. He couldn't keep his eyes open. (It was the ordering of playing card that did it. NOT)

Oh by the way, I saw pictures of Bob at a cattle branding. He does this every year in Nebraska. I would never make a good farmer's wife. Awe...I'd open the gate and tell the calves to RUN! It was sad seeing those pictures of cattle tied down. :( Bob has always said that as long as the meat is wrapped and comes from a grocery store, I'm ok. Don't tell me where it came from before that. I'll be a true vegetarian for sure.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, thank You for this new day. Thank You for the opportunity to begin again. I choose to press forward and keep believing for the dreams and desires You’ve placed in my heart. I trust You today with everything that I am. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
