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.

$784,856.15...

I AM SO EXCITED! We were driving to pick Zachary up from band camp today, and Bob said, "I remember this school. It's the school Zachary was going to when I moved here." OMG, OMG. A piece of his memory from the past four years has returned. Given a bit more time, I don't think you'd ever know anything happened to Bob.

Ha, you want to hear some figures that will knock your socks off. I got a letter from the insurance company telling me about Bob's insurance policy and the payout so far. He has a policy that pays 100% after the deductible and up to one million dollars; then, the catastrophic funds kick in. So far, they have paid $784,856.15 for medical bills. Bob said, "Holy shit, what did I do that made the insurance company have to pay so much?" Um..."It's called brain surgery, Bob." :-)

It was 99 degrees outside today. Needless to say, we stayed in the air conditioning all day. On the west coast, temperatures like that feel like you're putting you head in the oven. East coast, it's like putting your head in the dishwasher. I know, I've lived on both coasts.
