Since kayaks have no noise factor I can quietly paddle up to these animals and enjoy their ...

Stroke patients I am learning need help making decisions especially if there has been cognative damage...which with my mom's stroke was a side effect. Guiding/helping your parent make a good decision as to whether or not to return back to t ...
