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.

One step at a time...

Bob is one step closer to getting back to being an active commodities broker. He was "cleared" today by his physician to return to work. Now, he needs to retake the broker's test. I have no concerns about him passing the test. We've studied a book written by the Chicago Board of Trade. Bob has gotten 100% on most of the sub-quizzes. He knows his sh*t.

Finally, we've begun to write everything down that happens during the day and everything that will happen. Bob has conceded to the fact that he must write everything down, if he intends to remember. He has routine tasks committed to memory. New things still fade as hours pass. (Thank goodness memory loss happens after hours instead of minutes, as before.)

I learned something new today. I learned that "ahold" is actually a word. Anytime I've wanted to use that word, I always changed it to "get in touch". "Alot" is not a word. I knew that, but "ahold" is a word. (hahaha.. the spellcheck on this site does not recognize ahold.)
