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.

More stories to tell...

Today was a gorgeous day in Oregon. The bright sun, blue skies, and chirping birds put me in the mood to plant flowers in the porch boxes. I've always loved the window boxes you see in pictures of houses in Germany. I never can make my boxes look so full. One of these years I'll get it right.

Zachary is at his first prom. He was so nervous. He looked so handsome. Almost brought tears to my eyes watching him pose for pictures while thinking of his future wedding day. I know...I'm a bit ahead in my thinking.

Bob had another good day. He walked about 45 minutes. We took prom pictures on the Chamber of Commerce grounds. We had to walk a long path throughout the campus to get all the pictures we wanted, and Bob walked the entire way with no complaints.

Bob still has a tendency to tell stories from information he's heard on TV. I asked him if he ever went to another country. He told me he went to South Africa. Intrigued, I asked for more. He told me he played golf while there. Long bull crap made short, he was watching pro golf on TV, and one of the golfers was from South Africa. What a bull sh....er. That's my t. Creative!
