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.

Travels to Chicago...

Bob and I are in the middle of traveling from Oregon to Chicago. Going through the airport checkpoint was quite interesting. I've been through the process before; however, new regulations started yesterday.

This time I had to take my shoes off, and my belt. Now, can't they see that in order to take my belt off, I have to stand up, as well as have some sort of balance. They don't care. "Take it off!" We had to take coats off too.

Bob got away with not having to take his shoes off. I told them that he couldn't do that. It is way too difficult.

My wheelchair needed disassembled and checked for explosives. I could have told them I shipped my last supply by mail yesterday. :-)

Next time we fly, I'm going to go to the airport in my pjs and then get dressed before boarding the plane.
