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.

Exceptional day...

I was going to post that today was another ho-hum day. But to rephrase that properly, today was an exceptional day. Bob is still alive and kicking. He had a few moments of memory lapse that he thought we were going to Fairmont, MN. But, other than that, we had normal conversations.

Bob doesn't remember anything about how we met or the years we've been together. It's sort of sad, because I think our past is interesting. Positive note: It'll come back.

Bob asked me if I wanted to go for a drive. In the past, we always went for drives - what I know them as is a"Sunday drive". This is the first since his stroke that he brought that idea up. Slowly, but surely, Bob's returning. I told him that he needs more practice. So, he asked me if I want to go for a practice drive. We didn't. Bob played his guitar and sang instead.
