I'm a Guitar Player!

Well, not quite! But wow! Bob came home a few days before Christmas and our anniversary and carried a huge box into the house. It was wrapped in Christmas paper so I'm not sure if it was a Christmas present or anniversary present...he says both. He had already brought me a bouquet of yellow roses, and now this huge box. He made me open it right then, and I suspected what it was, and I was right...a guitar!!! When I opened it and saw that it was really a guitar, I just started crying and sobbing. I NEVER react that way to a present, in fact, usually just the opposite, it seems no matter how excited I am on the inside, it doesn't translate to my outer appearance. Boy it did this time! 

He has been telling me for some time that he was going to get me a guitar, and I said no, don't do it. Not that I didn't want one, I have wanted one for years and years! But now I have arthritis in my hands, and my hands go numb if I hold them up too long, from arthritis in my neck. I really don't think I can hold out long enough to learn to play it or play it if I learn!

But, Bob said, "Well, I got you a guitar, and if you can't play it, we'll let somebody else learn someday".....well okay, if you put it like that, I'll try! 

He bought it from Robert Hammons. I had suggested that Robert might know of a good cheap little guitar if he ever got me one (a long long time ago) so I guess I can eat a little crow because it seems Bob does listen to me once in a while. Not only that but he spoils me, all the time.

I think the guitar is beautiful. It's a smaller used guitar, but well taken care of and Alicia says it has a beautiful tone.

Robert told Bob that I could look on youtube and learn to play it, then he messaged me on facebook and asked me if I was enjoying the guitar? I told him sure was, just flatpicking up a storm! He said if I needed any help with it he would be happy to help me. I might take him up on it sometime. I would love to just go visit Dee and him. I worked for them for a while, cleaning house and such and enjoyed visiting with them so much. 

Well, anyway, we shall see what we shall see, I am very doubtful of learning to play at this late stage of my life, but it sounds like so much fun....next, the piano! HAHAHAHAHA!
