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.

It's done!...

Woo hoo! The addition is done. We have been moving stuff all day. T was home for a few hours today. He's going to supervise the moving of his office. That should prove to be interesting. He likes what he sees so far.

Bob is maneuvering so well. He may be slow, but he can transfer from his wheelchair to standing then to another chair without scaring the ba-gee-bers out of me like a few weeks ago.

He is so funny. When he's talking to someone on the phone, he looks directly at me when the topic comes to a location. He still thinks he's in Iowa. He also looks at me for verification of what happened in the recent past. Bob told me today that he knows his memory sucks. At least he can smile about it. That's the important thing.

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: Umpqua Bank
