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.

Web cam suit...

Can you believe it? I felt as though my blogs were getting too short and uninformative, since I'm apart from Bob for a week at a time. So, I decided to peruse the headlines to see what I could chat about. Ironically, there is a lawsuit against a school that distributes laptops to all its students. Believe that! The school is in an affluent district that can afford laptops to all its students. Anyway, the laptops have webcams incorporated into it. The school is able to activate the laptops' webcam remotely to see what is going on inside the home. Story

Here's the ironic part. I woke up this morning, with the notion of buying a webcam for Bob's laptop. The VA in Vancouver has wireless, so to be with Bob, everyday, I'll do it virtually; I'll set up a webcam. (I have one on my laptop already.) Then, I read this story, and thought, "Am I going to have to get permission from the VA to set up the webcam? Will they think I'm spying on their daily rituals? Will I be invading on someone else's private time?" I'm not settig it up to spy. It will only be turned on by T.

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.
