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.

Cognitive therapy improves...

One thing we do most nights is watch "Wheel of Fortune". Bob has never been able to think fast enough to get one of the puzzles (after his brain aneurysm), until tonight. The couple attempting to solve the final puzzle gave the letters they wanted, then tried to solve the puzzle. The puzzle was a phrase. PA_E T_E _A_ Before the buzzer, Bob said, "PAVE THE WAY". The couple didn't guess it, but Bob did.

Maybe my t got the answer because, his recovery is doing just that-paving the way. He's paving the way for other survivors of ruptured brain aneurysms. He is going down a path that many survivors never get a chance to try. Bob is plowing through the obstacles that so many people have put up as barriers.

We haven't been to the driving range for the past few days. I still have the extra basket of golf balls in the back of my car.
