My latest fishing adventure with local fisherman and freelance writer Jim Gronaw

My latest fishing adventure with local fisherman and freelance writer Jim Gronaw By Charles Rachel On Monday July 18, 2019 I had the opportunity to go fishing with local fisherman and freelance writer Jim Gronaw. This is the second fishing trip Jim and I have taken together. We went to a local pond. I caught a number of bluegills and bass. Jim caught none himself, we think this was the Lord's plan on that day. Jim and I attend Uniontown Bible Church together. This was a fun day of fishing and discussing our faith. I can’t wait to do it again soon! https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/65864969_2405323789526665_2767970078535188480_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_oc=AQlA4pszQTjrknB8UI7Y34y9illd6A1VSB78ev6LSWdX6nlVTCJXTMThQk5LW0TOYy0&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=67ca4f87cd7f0253579e9a1ee3df8c4d&oe=5DDB4537

My new power wheelchair

I recently received my new wheelchair last week after a long wait for it. The wheelchair arrived on Friday July 12, 2019 and it has already changed my life more than any wheelchair I have ever had! In addition to being mobile of course, I now have the ability to use it as a recliner! This feature is very helpful. Because there have been a few times in which my back has hurt for some reason while at the Arc, and I have had to sit in a recliner here until the pain subsided. This does not happen often though. This is the first chair I have ever had with a reclining feature. It also has a head rest and air cushioned seat that inflates by turning a knob when I get out of the chair, then deflates when I get in the chair. This happens to insure the seat remains comfortable while I am sitting in it. This is also to prevent the seat/cushion from sagging or warring down over time. The controller used to drive and recline the chair also moves out of the way for getting under tables. The arm rests also lift out of the way when getting under tables. Because the seat inflates and deflates for comfort and due to the chair’s design, I sit much higher than previously. The seat also has built in lateral supports that help me sit straighter. I absolutely love this chair already! I have not even had it for a full week yet! The footplates fully retract to make it easy when getting under tables, workstations, or when transferring in and out of the chair. You can even get a seat function that lifts you to a full standing position; mine doesn’t have that feature though. I can also lay all the way back as if I were in bed. I am loving this new wheelchair more and more every day!!

What will it be coffee or tea?

Which will it be Coffee or tea? By Charles Rachel People begin their day in many different ways. Many feel they need a beverage such as Orange juice, Milk, or maybe a cup of tea is more your thing to wake up in the morning. Coffee is my drink of choice! I drink it once, sometimes twice a day at least. I also like it for the health benefits it provides. For example, I was advised to drink it last year after taking a stress test. Because the caffeine in coffee helps slow your heart rate down to a more regular pace when at rest. Though some people prefer tea instead.

Millions of Footprints

Millions of Footprints By Charles Rachel I was walking in the woods one day when suddenly I saw something strange on the path ahead. There were millions of tiny footprints coming out of the bushes, crossing the path, and disappearing into the bushes on the other side. I had some free time so I decided to follow the footprints and investigate. Upon closer inspection, the footprints appeared to belong to Chewbacca from Star Wars! How he crash landed on Earth, no one knows.

Medieval Mayhem

Medieval Mayhem By Charles Rachel Medieval Times is an interesting time period in world history for me, it is also a great place to get dinner and enjoy watching the battle for the kingdom take place. This is interesting to me because it gives me and others a chance to learn about what happens in other parts of the world, and how it is different from the way we are used to living in the United States. I have been fortunate enough to have visited Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in the past, and I enjoyed it a great deal! I enjoy experiencing as much as possible in life.
