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.

Four steps!...

Bob Pirie Fund: Many of Bob's friends have expressed that they wanted to help by donating to a fund that will help with Bob's medical expenses. I have set up a Bob Pirie Fund at Umpqua Bank here in Roseburg. If you are interested in making a contribution, you can mail a check to:

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.


Bob took four steps today! He's not ready for a marathon, but he's on his way. Zachary told Bob that he could go jogging with him soon. T made the funniest face and said, "When I get past the fear of walking, I'll go."


If anyone is close by the VA on Wednesday around 1pm., Bob will be taking his first steps with the physical therapist. We will be celebrating with cake and ice cream. Come party with us over the GREAT event. I'll be taking pictures and posting them on this blog. Stay tuned.

I didn't work on any memory activities today. T was too "pooped" from exercising, standing, and walking. However, he is remembering names more and more each day. Short term memory is still very short-term. If he is reminded by another person, he remembers, but if you ask him to recall on his own, he doesn't remember. (Does that make sense?)

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, today I declare my thanks to You for all You have done in my life. Help me see Your hand of blessing as I continually acknowledge and praise Your name. Fill me with Your peace and joy as I keep You first place in all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
