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 is baffling...

Memory is a funny thing. Bob can't remember some things past 2 minutes, but other things, he hangs on to. I can't figure it out. We played a game today called Pente. I think, it takes more strategy than chess. We played it a lot over the years. The goal of the game is to either capture ten of your opponents "men" or get five of your "men" in a consecutive row. We played one warm-up game so I could remind Bob of the rules and goal. We've kept an on-going tally of games won. Being the competitive person I am, I thought this would be a good time to narrow the gap we had between us. At last play, Bob had 45 games won, I had 29. You see, I had a few games to catch up. Hey, I'm human! Anyway, the best laid plans don't always work well. Once again, I had to concentrate in order to stay ahead. Bob won three games, I won four. We played for almost two hours. Bob didn't forget once the rules or strategies. But, he couldn't remember from one minute to the next what store I was going to later in the evening.
See, this memory thing is baffling?
