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.

Daily routine...

Our day started at 6:30am with the sound of country music playing on the radio. Our goal is to get up and get in front of the computer before the markets open at 7am, pacific time. So far, we have not succeeded. I suppose with a little more training, we'll be able to be on time.

Bob is able to stay awake for the majority of the morning, but he slowly fizzles as the morning progresses. Bob reads some of the news articles that effect the markets, and he claims to be reading his emails. He stares, as he always did, at the charts and quotes. Boy, ask him anything about the quotes and he'll fired back an intelligent answer. One friend/client calls every day to discuss the markets (to get Bob's brain thinking markets); Bob looks and talks so seriously and professionally. It's great to see.

At 10am, a nurse comes to the house to clean Bob's stomach wound; yuk. I stop the IV pump and reload the machine/IV line for the next 24 hour dose. I've been trained to do that on my own.

Mid-day, Bob naps for a few hours, then he's raring to go until 7pm. Bedtime for the evening is usually 7:30-8:00pm. I'm ready at that time too.

T did a little walking with the walker, today. It was a nice day out, so he walked on our new deck to check out the handy work of the construction workers. From what he could see, it met his approval.
