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.

Germs are inevitable

I'm sad. Tonight is the first night that I've missed visiting t in the evening since May. (Well, second) I feel horrible leaving him all alone.

He's alone, because he's in quarantine. He has contracted MRSA in his pressure sore. MRSA is a bacteria passed by touch and can live on inanimate objects; so, I'm unable to bring things to the room until he is treated with antibiotics. I did get his harley bell hung a few days ago. They don't know about it; I don't think so anyhow. (I should wipe it down with alcohol, I suppose.) He's alone in a room with a just a tv. Visitors can visit provided they wash their hands upon entering and leaving the room. Please send encouragment.

Why didn't I visit Bob tonight? The contractor was at our house discussing the layout for the addition for two hours. We revamped this and that which will double the original cost. Oh dear! In the end, it will be what we need to accommodate both of our physical challenges.

I found out some good news about me today. 1. If you Google my name, the entire first page is about me. 2. When you Google some of the topics that I wrote about on e-How, my article is listed in the top three selections. Woo-hoo! I did something right. It takes a lot of correct placement of "verbage" to get listed on the first page of Google. One article is "filling out a bank deposit slip".

A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM JOEL OSTEEN
"Father in heaven, I choose to trust that You are working things out for my good. I choose to stand in faith, believing that my season of breakthrough is coming. Give me Your strength and peace as I patiently wait on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
