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.

Today was domestic lesson day. :-) Bob had always been helpful with the chores around the house; however, since his stroke, his brain conveniently forgot how to do chores. (I'm sure a little of that has to do with being male too.) Sorry guys :-( Anyway, I retaught Bob how to run the load the washing machine, put laundry detergent in the washer, and set the settings before turning on the washer.

Bob also, loved cooking before his stroke. So, today he helped me make apple crisp. And, yes, we had to eat it with vanilla ice cream. I wanted DQ, but settled for Umpqua. (Umpqua is a local dairy business.)

I should have Bob sign-off on a document that says he has been trained in laundry and baking so he can't use "I don't know" as an excuse.

Bob had plenty exercise today. We went to Costco again. He walked through the entire store, which is a huge warehouse. Also, Bob has NOT used his walker for the past few days. He feels as though walking is getting easier.
