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.

I talked to Bob!

Please send Bob any types of encouragement you can to help him through these last few weeks of rehab. Anything but alcohol :-)


I finally was able to talk with Bob today. The last I spoke with him was Sunday. He laughed at me for being so spastic about not being able to talk with him. He said he still in the same place, and he still loves me. awwww...he's so cute.


I asked him about his little attempt to get on the VA van. Of course, he doesn't remember. He thinks it's funny though.


A few blogs ago, I talked about a school in PA potentially getting in trouble for remotely activated webcams that were on computers given to all of the students. Well, it didn't take long. The school is being sued for taking a picture of a student in his home, then showing the picture to other staff. dah... tell me that wasn't a lawsuit handed on a platter.


I didn't have any luck trying to get the webcam up and running for Bob and I to talk. You'd think the VA wouldn't be so antiquated when it comes to technology. There are so many resources that the therapists are missing out on that are available on the Internet. That's another reason I want my t home. We'll be able to do brain games that have bigger significance than the ones they are using now.


A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
