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.

200 posts

I've posted two hundred times on this blog, all about my T (minus a few pre-T posts for writers). This "diary" might make a good book some day. I'd have to figure out a focus, though, so every entry flows. Any thoughts that might be interesting?


Zachary and I took Coupe to the VA to visit Bob. I think he liked the puppy. Coupe acted like an eight-month old toddler though. When Bob held him, he squirmed around and whimpered. However, as soon as I took Coupe from Bob, he cuddled up on my lap and fell asleep.


I spoke with the social worker today. She told me that she noticed I was quite irritated at the meeting a few weeks ago. I explained to her my educational background and that I didn't appreciate being talked to like I knew nothing. She was the good social worker by saying she could understand, now, why I was upset. I asked her to pass the word at the next team meeting of my extensive background, and that I'm not stupid!


I also told the social worker that after the rehab in WA, there will be no more nursing homes. Bob only needs to get his muscles stronger. As for his slow recall, that doesn't deserve a nursing home. Ugh...I'm getting irritated again talking about it.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

"Father God, today I choose to give You thanks. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for setting me free. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus! I know You have a good plan for me. Thank You for leading and guiding me and for keeping me close to You all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
