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.

All bets are off....

If you laid down a bet on my will to survive until Sunday to see my T, you lost the bet. I couldn't wait, I called the Rehab Center in Vancouver by lunchtime. I already like the staff before meeting them. When I connected with the nurses station, the nurse said she'll connect me to Bob's room. I said that I don't think Bob will be able to get up to answer the phone. She said she'll transfer the phone back to his room, run to his room to answer it, and give him the phone. Which she did. Now, tell me, do you like them already? I do.

I talked with my T on the phone. He seemed fine. He said the trip didn't seem long. He said he didn't sleep, but I bet he did. Heavens, he left Roseburg at 4am and probably arrived in Vancouver by 7:30-8am. I would have been sleeping before the driver pulled out of the parking lot. :-)

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, I choose to trust You. I cast my cares on You. I give You my plans, dreams, and desires for the future. Thank You for working behind the scenes on my behalf. Give me Your peace as I wait patiently to see Your plan unfold. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
