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.

Project education...

Be prepared. When you least expect it, you'll need medical information for yourself or someone in the family. Go here to get a copy of a book that I wrote out of necessity. I needed Bob's medical information time and time again. I designed the book by using a variety of medical forms that repeated the same information over and over. The book is only $14.95. That is 14.95 well spent dollars. It can also be used in emergency situations. If available to EMTs, all of your medical and identifying information is right at their disposal.Included in this book are stroke and heart attack warning signs, caregiver lifting tips, and travel first aid tips. Important information right at your finger tips. Get a book for everyone in your family.

I have a gripe to vent. This time it has to deal with the educational system. Oregon is on the low end of the totem poll when it comes to putting money towards educating the kids. They do not provide enough opportunity for alternative styles of education.

During the second half of the past school year, Zachary was sick. I had to withdraw him from school. Eventually, he was able to take band in school while completing his English, Math, and Science online.

Now, I want him to continue taking electives at the school, while completing academics online. Because of how money is allocated, he cannot do both. Figure that out! I think I have a new project.
