Hello Everyone,
Zachary and I drove up and back to WA in the same day. Don't ask me why I would do such an insane thing, but I did.
We stopped and bought T a new laptop, only to find out that the VA, again does not have wireless. When Zachary connected to the Internet last week, he was sitting outside, and a college is directly across the street. He connected to their service thinking it was good for inside the VA...NOT. So, we're back to the same issue as before (see the blog from months ago dealing with the Roseburg VA not having the Internet). Years ago, because of hackers, the VA shut done access to the Internet. I think they need an updated person to resolve their issue.
Bob seems to becoming quite a frustrated and angry person. I think because of his frustration, he is getting angry. I will call the social worker on Monday to see if he can talk with someone.
His short-term memory is still not long. However, I overheard him talking with anther Vet about Zachary, and he told the Vet Zachary's correct age and grade in school. So, memory is there, it's just the immediate short-term that needs work. You know, I'm confident that when he gets home, that will resolve itself.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Many waterfalls in the USA are not accessible by wheelchair. Bob, my husband, and I are traveling the USA to search for waterfalls accessible by wheels (wheelchairs, bikes, strollers).
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.
