Don’t really know what to do when your back “goes out” except wait for it to “come in”. – Donna Downey

It’s never fun to be “puny” on vacation but if you are going to be forced into taking a day or two to sit in one place… Canon Beach, Oregon is a really nice place to be.  Most of you know that I have a sensitive back; one that likes to bring me down occasionally.  This morning I woke up and felt that inner groan, knowing that I wasn’t going anywhere today. 

So we experienced one of those changes we are used to dealing with. A muscle relaxer later I was feeling much better and enjoyed an entire day of complete rest.  We read, well I pretty much slept most of the time, and there was a Nascar race on TV which made the day quite tolerable for Charles.  We ate well… now you know nutrition is important when you aren’t 100%.

So we are all spared the too long ramblings I usually write about our day and I only took two photos this afternoon. Both of them were within 20 feet of our room just to give my back a little test.  There is a tree just outside our door covered in the prettiest soft pink blossoms.  

Charles is well tonight as are Paris and Dodger.  I am tolerable and dependent on drugs for my relief.  We hope y’all are well tonight.

Peace, Hope & Love,

Donna, Charles, Paris & Dodger
