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.

Date night at the care unit...

One of the residents' wives brought a Las Vegas show of a ventriliquist, Terry something. He's the one who won America's Got Talent last year or the year before. Anyway, she put signs up advertising the event. The event was to watch a Las Vegas Show in one of the TV lounges. Cookies, chips, and soda were provided. I waited for the cocktail waitress to come around; but, I must have missed her. :0(

T asked me if I wanted to go. It was a little chilly, so we covered ourselves with a blanket and watched the show. We had a date!

Later, we worked on memory activities like, I would name three things. Bob would repeat them back to me, forwards and backwards. (a little working memory there) He got 100%. He named four farm animals. I asked him what "field maggots" were. That's what he always called sheep. He didn't remember ever saying that.

hahaha...T was funny earlier today. We were playing the card game "Go Fish". When he asked me for a card that I had and needed to give to him, he said he didn't want them, because he didn't want to hold all of the cards. I told him that is part of the game. He told me, he quits then because he wasn't going to take the cards.

Pray for me to regain my patience, and pray for Bob to willfully move.

One day at a time...
