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.

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.

Bob's physical therapy was bumped up a level today. He transferred from the bed to his wheelchair using a walker. He learned to pivot stand. He said it was very scary. He's afraid he's going to fall and not be able to get up, or fall and hurt himself. When he's done transferring, he is shaking with fear. I just want to hug him and move him myself. That won't do him any good.

Boy, did I get quite the story tonight! Supposedly, he was fishing all day long today, but he couldn't catch anything because people were asking him to be a "go-fer" all day. Then, the oil pan went out on his wheelchair. a ha...ok my t. Bob went on and on and on. It was a great story.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, today I declare my thanks to You for all You have done in my life. Help me see Your hand of blessing as I continually acknowledge and praise Your name. Fill me with Your peace and joy as I keep You first place in all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
