The Bad and All Good Things~

The Running Y Ranch, was a very nice spot and we're so glad we found it.
Below is our suite with a view of the last nine on the golf course.
Love the room, almost felt like a home :-)

First Nine of the golf course ~

Last nine ~

The day after my last post my back locked up on me :-(

It sorta came out of nowhere, yet I have my suspicions 

it may have been a bad idea to unload the luggage up to our room

while Buster was getting his much deserved massage...

Buster arranged a massage for me, hoping to nip it in the bud.

When I left the Spa, walking was considerably easier than when I arrived.

I went back to the room to lay down, while Bob was golfing with our new

friend Tom.

That night we met Tom and Debra for dinner at their home.

Picking up the salt shaker about sent me through the roof with pain.

We did have a lovely meal in their beautiful home, with a beautiful view!

I can't describe how great these two people are, I know I'm

looking forward to spending time with them in November when they

are in San Diego!
Below is a shot from above of their awesome home :-)

The next morning the back became much worse. I could not sit or stand, which 

left me on my back in bed. Bob called the paramedics as he no way could

have gotten me to the car let alone, provide a way of laying down.
They say paramedics are good a looking sort,...I didn't notice, okay they were!

Bob quickly started loading the car with our luggage, cancelled our last

night at the Ranch and headed to the hospital.

 Three hours in the E.R. and four shots later, I was released.

Nothing they can really do with a locked up back other than mask the pain.

Clearly it was time to head home..... ~

But not without another look of beautiful Mt. Shasta ~

Within about two hours I was sitting comfortably in the car as we headed to Redding CA.

The next day started out ruff until the meds kicked in again and we drove to Santa Nella, CA

Santa Nella to home was about 5 1/2 hour drive.

Was so good to set foot in our home again to a warm welcome from our

friends George and Lynn who held down the fort while we were away.
We so appreciate you staying!!

The trip was great, I'm sure we will be talking about it for some time.

Thankful to all who met up with us along the way, you are each so treasured by us!

Please let us know if you are ever in the San Diego area, we would love

to pamper you as we felt pampered.

Thanks to each of you.

For those who followed along on this journey via the blog,

it was great to have you along for the ride, if only visually!

The bad back will pass,
and all the good things like this trip, come to an end.

The memories are socked away, only to be stirred up from time to time in times of reflection.

Great to be home, it's what echos from my heart today...
