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.

Thumbs up for Bob's physical and cognitive well-being

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.


Bob was measured for a foot brace to help with his drop foot. Hopefully, the tone will come back as he works with physical therapy. There is some movement in his ankle; however, it is very minute.


Bob, finally, was able to move his body enough to give me enough room to cuddle with him and watch a movie. I took a nap. T sawed his share of logs too. Believe it or not, his snoring wqa


Physically, it is exciting to see Bob's flexibility improving. He is able to put on his own shirt without flinching his face from over stretching. He's able to get completely dressed himself. He's able to shave and comb his hair by himself.


Cognitively, Bob had another day of remembering well. He even showed a little frustration when he couldn't remember if the bandages were changed on his pressure wound or not.


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."
