When she was in her mid-thirties, Herself expressed a desire for a guitar, and a lovely instrument was obtained for her. She began teaching herself to play it, slowly. Oh, so slowly. One day, a string broke, and the guitar was put aside for the moment; and the moment somehow turned into several years. Alas.
Several weeks ago, Herself mentioned to her Beloved that for Christmas, she would like to have her guitar re-strung. Much to her delight and surprise, he took it upon himself to fetch out the guitar from the closet and arrange for the re-stringing. It is back home now, ready to be played. She must begin all over again, for she has forgotten the small amount that she once knew. We are both looking forward to the effort, though.
