This is not about being busy...

So, I dropped off the dogs at the dog sitter's house. We love our dog sitter. She is one of the coolest people ever and she loves our dogs as if they were her own. If you don't have dogs, or have never had to board your dogs, you probably don't know how rare that is.

Anyway, as I'm leaving, she says she has something for me and comes out of her studio with a pretty little ukulele. It's a Decca from the 1950s. A Japanese made uke that was mass produced and imported in to the states and it was owned by her father. I was blown away. Ukuleles are one of those things that people just don't get rid of. Especially if they were owned by a family member. So, for her to give me that uke was a big deal and the more I think about it, the more grateful I am for the gesture. It now has a place of honor in my permanent collection and I know that, no matter how many ukes I acquire, this one will stay front and center. Thanks Alex.
