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.

Memory frustration...

One thing that is hard for me not to get frustrated about is Bob's short-term memory and how adamant he gets when he's positive something has/has not happened. Today, he had a psych evaluation to determine if he's able to take care of bills, take medication on time by himself, and whatnot when he goes home. Dah...what is my purpose? Anyway, five minutes after his appointment, he did not remember meeting with anyone. The meeting lasted a few hours. He almost got in an argument with me saying, he did not meet with anyone. Ugh...frustration...I know, one day at a time. When he is home on the weekends, it is easier for me to handle. It seems as though his memory is longer with familiar things, though.


Our visit today consisted of naps. He was exhausted after his interview. I was tired too.

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
