BRIEF SUMMARY OF WHAT WAS........

A WONDERFUL, UNFORGETTABLE WEEK WITH MY DAUGHTER.....LAUGHTER, TEARS, CARBOHYDRATE WITHDRAWAL, LOTS OF BURIED TREASURE TEA......WHICH I EVEN STARTED TO LIKE, EVEN LOVE AND CRAVED ON THE PLANE RIDE HOME......WATCHING PEOPLE AROUND US WHO WERE ALL HAVING THEIR 'OWN' "SPA EXPERIENCE".........their conversations (we couldn't help but overhear most of them) were fascinating.....from spa virgins like Corey and I to veterans who have been coming since "THE RANCH" as it is known to the veterans.....everyone comes from their own reason for coming......you know the cost of the spa....and it was evident to see who had been coming for quite a while (not by the way they looked, necessarily, but the way they talked)....and those who had had several experiences.....as I think back, I don't think we met one other "virgin".......interesting thought to ponder.....
How easy it was to fit into this lifestyle.....biggest decision being how much to exercise and what time do we eat? The scary thing was after the first few days it started to feel "perfectly normal"......there is no exchange of cash there....everything goes to Room 173.
The sheer indulgence of having one treatment followed by another didn't even seem unnatural.......
Although we just got home late Saturday night.....it's almost like a wonderful dream......reality hits quickly...not as much for me because I don't have to go to work.....but for Corey, I am sure it was difficult......
But don't expect to hear any whining from Corey or myself...
We know what a privilege we had to spend this incredible week together......and hope to be 'RANCH HANDS' again next year......Adios
