Bob went for a long walk with his dad today. I thought they'd only make it to the end of our property and back. They walked a few blocks.
Yesterday, I wrote in my blog that Bob's memory rejuvenates itself after a sleep. Last night he didn't remember his house in Fairmont, MN. I thought that after a good night's sleep, if he saw pictures of his home in Fairmont, he'd remember. I was wrong. I showed him several pictures of the inside and outside. He remembered the outside, but said he never lived in a house that looked like the one in the pictures. According to Jill Bolte Taylor, there were things that she didn't remember, people continuously reminded her these things, and she didn't want to remember them. She only wanted to remember good things. She felt that her brain aneurysm gave her a fresh start to move forward positively. So, does Bob really need to remember his house in Fairmont? He will if his brain chooses. More importantly, he needs to remember his current address.

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.
