Upgrade our van.

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Our van is a 2005 model and it would look great with one of those  thule racks mounted on the roof. Most of the time it’s just my wife and I, but we do at least once a year like to climb in and head down the road, and that’s wen we find out that [...]

Words mean a lot.

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

I have had a couple of rough days.  Without boring you to tears, I have just been in a lot of pain.  Where?  You name it, and I have hurt there.  Living with it was enough so let’s move on. This morning, my wife said that she was going to write a couple of thank [...]

Spruce Up our Van.

Friday, March 19th, 2010

We have a 2002 van.  It runs well and it’s equipped to allow Karen in her wheelchair to drive right in. That means that we need more parking room than a normal car or van as there is an 8 foot ramp coming out on the passenger side.  That why there is a hash marked [...]

Another Day in Scottsdale.

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

As I normally do, I woke this morning and started my day taking care of my wife.  I get her going before I do anything for myself.    Even left the fat burner pills there on the table. Once she was up and operating and had had her breakfast, I went to my computer, and as [...]

Up and Down.

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Since yesterday I have been so happy with the fact that once again the wheelchair ramp on our van works.  It goes up and down and it does so, almost quietly.  That is quite a difference from the last couple of weeks when the gear box went bad and when it came down, it did [...]

Great Timing!

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Coming off of such a great week last week, celebrating  wife Karen’s birthday, I had been drawn into the feeling that every thing was going to continue to be wonderful. Up until Wednesday.  Coming out from Lunch, I pushed the button to lower the ramp on our wheelchair van.  The door slid back.  The ramp [...]

Illegal Handicapped Parking – Saturday Save

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

This marks the second Saturday in a row that we have no run into illegal parking in Handicapped spots. We don’t go out on Saturday looking for Illegal Parking. If we happen to run into it, I note it, if I have a still camera with me, I take a picture but didn’t run into [...]

Illegal Handicapped Parking Saturday SAVE

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Here I’m again to report about Handicapped parking in the Scottsdale Arizona area. We just returned after making two stops at two different locations. I’m happy to report that we didn’t find any illegally parked vehicles today in the Handicapped spots. I can’t believe it either, but it’s true. I did notice a lot of [...]

Everyday, it’s my job

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

What you see above is the left front wheel of Karen’s wheelchair, prior to me cleaning it. That is dust/dirt that is there after a hard day of use.   And Lord knows KK keeps her chair very busy.   They should have an odometer on them.   Now one of my jobs, and I [...]

Back Home again in Scottsdale!!

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

Karen’s (my wife) test yesterday in the hospital came out positive.  That was good.  And she was told she could come home.  She is back here at home, as of right now she has had a good night of sleep and ready to taken on another day.  With it’s nice to have her here thoughts [...]
