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.

Exciting day...

I have been so excited all day today. I was so excited that poor t had to do tricks all day. He remembered things that happened days ago. Talking to him all day was like talking to my t the way it used to be. Anyone who came into the house today, witnessed Bob getting quizzed on memory items. (I should have thrown him a "treat" for every right answer)

Do you remember from a long time ago, I asked Bob what animals were on a farm? Seven months ago, I had to coax him to give me one animal. Today, he rattled off seven, and he even told me what animal is on the farm to get rid of the animal that eats the feed!

After he saw me getting so excited about his memory, he got all choked up too. He would ask me, "Did I get it right?", with a cracked voice.
