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.

Bob always did like peace and quiet...

Bob came home for the day again. The only thing he seems to get frustrated about are the noisy dogs when they are playing, which, seems to be all of the time. Coupe, the puppy pet therapy dog, won't leave Bentley, the older dog alone. He is forever running beside Bentley biting at his ankles or ears. He latches onto Bentley's neck skin and fur and hangs onto it. Bentley growls, but that doesn't phase Coupe in the least.

Two wheelchairs in a house is a bit crowded. Moving around each other is like doing those puzzles where you have to move a piece down, and another over, and another up, and so on until you get it right. For the most part it's OK.

A frustrating thing for me while Bob is home is the "potty control". Bob hasn't gotten that feeling back fully yet, so accidents happen all of the time, even with layers upon layers of protection. :-/

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, I choose to trust You. I cast my cares on You. I give You my plans, dreams, and desires for the future. Thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your peace as I wait patiently to see Your plan unfold. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
