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.

Once a teddy bear, always a teddy bear...

Calgone, take me away. We are coming to the end of this long journey, at least, being apart from my T. March 16th is the discharge date for Bob to come home. 28 days to go. What ever am I going to do?

Story of the day: Bob told me that when I come to visit, he will be with Eugene. I asked who Eugene was. T told me that Eugene was the guy who tried to kill our dogs last year. Of course, Eugene lives in Iowa. (But, Bob did say that he lives in Roseburg, OR.)

I'm assuming Bob had all three therapy sessions today. I miss seeing my T everyday, but it's nice to see the dramatic changes from weekend to weekend.

T called me three times today on his cell phone telling me that he misses me. He's still a teddy bear, as before. I just want to squeeze and squeeze him until his stuffings fall out. :-)

Bob Pirie Fund: Many of Bob's friends have expressed that they wanted to help by donating to a fund that will help with Bob's medical expenses. I have set up a Bob Pirie Fund at Umpqua Bank here in Roseburg. If you are interested in making a contribution, you can mail a check to: Umpqua Bank

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father in heaven, thank You for being my Deliverer. I trust that You have a good plan for me and that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. Thank You for Your strength and peace in every area of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
