Photos from Ireland

Posted byRgPosted inUncategorized

Here are some photos from Ireland. We had beautiful weather, and I got to ride a horse!

The views were amazing. Trotting was too painful for me so the horses just walked, giving us plenty time to take in the sights.
Blondie took great care of me on the way up and on the way down the hill.
A rainbow in Ireland! I’ll let you fill in the punch line.
The view from the bridal suite.
Cows!

And as always, Bella and Rex were at Camp Bow Wow having a great time.

It was a great honor to be invited to stand in one of my best friend’s wedding and I didn’t want to miss it. So I planned to have the spinal fusion surgery after this trip. I am grateful I made that decision, but the traveling was really hard on my body and has further limited my mobility. I am taking my time packing up my belongings before getting on the road to NY. I am trying to pare down my possessions to the essentials, which is surprisingly difficult. I have accumulated a lot stuff over the years!

I’m hoping to get on the road by May 15. I’ll be driving 3 hours a day so it will take me at least a week to make the 20ish hour drive. I am hoping to make a detour to Disney World and Universal Studios to get in some roller coaster rides before the surgery. Like the horseback ride, I think it will be worth some additional discomfort pre-surgery to do the fun things I won’t be able to post-surgery. I am having lots of opportunities to practice cost/benefit analysis lately!
