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.

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.


Bob's sons, Joe and Isaac are here in Oregon for a few days. Bob was very excited to see them. They had a secret hand shake that they did when the boys were growing up (20 or more years ago). Bob remembered the entire sequence. It was neat to watch.


Well, Bob decided to venture out again without a walker. Of course, he fell; but, didn't get hurt. Bob says he doesn't remember it. He says, "That's what every is telling me." A new alarm is put on his bed that sounds an alarm as soon as he attempts to get out of bed. The devise is hidden on the back of the bed so Bob can't reach it easily and disarm it.


The recreational therapist was trying to teach Bob how to play Pinochle. My brain shut down while listening to her. The other therapist, who was learning too, wasn't comprehending either. So, if two able-minded people couldn't learn how to play, how was T going to grasp the idea? Where did these people get their degrees at?

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Heavenly Father, thank You for the strength to make it through any challenge I may face. I choose to put my trust in You. I declare that You are good and thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
