Gifts

Last time I was over at my husband's house I noticed of all the guitars in the main rooms two of them are mine. When I moved out many many years ago he was getting disoriented by the third week as I was still stopping over to get stuff out of his way (understandable). He said, "no more" and I left everything else there, including my guitars. Over the holidays this year I was doing laundry at his place - his b'day gift to me, use his washer and dryer - I was playing guitar to pass the time. So when he got home and picked up another guitar to join me it was just like our good days in that other lifetime. When the dryer was done and I got back upstairs with my baskets he had packed up my Ovation in a case and had it by the back door. He handed me a new pack of strings and one of the guitar stands and told me to stay out of trouble. (I had to carry my laundry baskets and my gifts to the car myself - no different than when we were married)

I hate tuning a guitar. When I'm rich and famous I'm gonna have someone show up just for tuning.

  4. Cinful - It IS wonderful that we can be in the same room. He's more my brother than a previous husband. I hate the word "ex", it just doesn't fit. Our daughters chastise us for not being angry like other divorced couples. We have laughed at them to get used to it. It isn't luck. I worked very hard as I moved on to keep the equalibrium. It has been worth it. Hence, guitar (yeah!)

  5. Good for you! This is how I wanted my divorce to be handled but it takes two. Oh well maybe in the future! I'm glad you are enoying your guitar.
