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.

Let the games begin...

Let the games begin. Costco magazine had an article in this month's issue about keeping the brain active. It stated that the brain continuously rejuvenates itself, and doing games ranging from playing chess to games found on various websites will exercise the brain. The article stated that doing brain games one hour a day, five days a week for 8-10 weeks can decrease the age of a brain ten years. The article was geared toward seniors, however, from what I have learned over the past year, and what I believe, I say, let the games begin!
Today was an up and down day for Bob. He recognizes that he is confused many times during the day about where he is. Sometimes it brings him close to tears. Hopefully, my reassurance that it will come with time and repetition helps ease his confusion.
Bob's leg strength is improving. He actually crawled up on the bed this evening by putting his knee on the bed first, instead of sitting, then raising his legs onto the bed. woo-hoo!
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.
