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.

Crying comes easy...

Bob gets so emotional over everyone caring so much about him. After church today, many members from the congregation came to him asking how he was doing and that it was great to see him at church. He started to cry, because he can't believe so many care. He began to cry again in the car the more he thought about it.
Being the sap I am, seeing my T cry makes me cry. :-(
After church, we had lunch, then Bob watched TV. I'll give you one guess as to what he watched. Golf, of course. That habit is one thing that hasn't changed. Once a golfer, always a golfer.
Medically, the scar on Bob's stomach, the one he's had since June, is infected and seeping. I noticed it getting inflamed around the edges about a week ago. I kept my eye on it. Today, it popped like a huge pimple. yuk... :p I'll keep watch to see that it dries up. His follow-up appointment isn't for a few weeks.
Bob walked from the bed to the bathroom without assistance this morning. He scared the crap out of me. He was in bed when I left the room to let the dog out. When I returned, the bed was empty and the wheelchair was in the same spot. He has always proven to have a mind of his own.
PARTY
There will be a one-year Survival Party, May 29th for those who need more time to plan. That is Memorial weekend, so you'll have a four-day weekend. More details will be coming.
