I have read stories about actors who were drug addicts and were still able to function normally, I’m hoping I am able to do the same today. – Donna Downey

The morning did not start off well.  The muscle spasms were there as soon as I tried to get up and move around this morning. So I did more drugs, took a hot shower, and Charles brought us  a continental breakfast from the motel.  Since there were no medical services in Canon Beach, as soon as the drugs kicked in we decided to ease on down the road toward Yachats, OR.  If the back didn’t cooperate we would at least be closer to some type of medical care. 

Luckily everything went very well.  I was still a little uncomfortable and made a very limited number of exits from the car until later in the day but the back cooperated and the severe spasms seem to have calmed down dramatically. 

It was one of the prettiest days we have ever spent on the Pacific Coast.  After three rainy days we were greeted by the sun as we left Canon Beach and it was beautiful all day long.  There was only the slightest breeze which is so unusual in our trips along the Oregon coast.  Usually by mid afternoon the wind will just about take you down and it’s almost always on the cold side.  Today, it was almost a warm breeze. 

Because the weather was so nice, we made a world of stops to enjoy every possible view and overlook between Canon Beach and Yachats.  It could only have been a better day if my back had been 100%. 

We had a wonderful lunch at the Pelican Pub & Brewery in Pacific City, Oregon… great view of the ocean… grilled salmon salad for Charles and seafood quesadillas for me. 

We are looking forward to another day on the coast tomorrow.  Got a great room tonight in the Yachats Inn… got a fire going in the fireplace and watched a beautiful sunset.  Life is good.

Charles is well tonight, I am much better and we hope that y’all are doing well!

Peace, Hope & Love,

Donna, Charles, Paris & Dodger

Donna,

I am so sorry you are having back trouble...it's hard to have a good time when things are not a 100%...could it be left over stress from your tax season????? :) Now about your trip...We've had so much fun on this trip. If charlie beats me home he fills me in on your day and he always says "you won't believe the pictures"...which are wonderful....We love ya'll and hope the rest of your trip is exactly what you want it to be. Hug each other for me....

Peace and Love,
Sharon
