If you want to have a good chuckle, picture this...Bob and I ventured out on our own again today. We went to Costo. When we got there, we needed to figure out how we can get from the car to the entrance. Inside the entrance will be automatic carts for us to ride through the store. Luckily, there was a push cart right beside our parking spot.
So, we proceeded to use the push cart like a walker. However, instead of one of us pushing, we both got behind the cart, alternated hands on the handle, and slowly walked in. We were laughing so hard, I think people were looking at us laughing, instead of our clumsy gate.
When we got to the door, I think the attendant felt sorry for us that we didn't have to show our membership card. She probably thought, "If those two people put that much effort into coming to the store, they must be members."
We motored around the store in the automatic carts getting all the things we needed; all the food was in my cart, and all others were in t's. Our train gave people something to laugh at.
Bob's short-term memory still sucks. His memory of our location still sucks. He told me today, "Why don't you share some of whatever you're smoking, because we left the state and now we are back in Oregon."
Healing prayers are needed for Bob's Mom. On their travels back to Iowa from Oregon, she fell and broke her leg (in Nebraska). She had surgery to put in pins and screws. She's doing fine now. The therapists already have her up and walking.
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.
