We got cracker barrel on the way home. I love cracker barrel, but it sucked. The food was dead cold, and they made us wait an hour after serving other walk inside first.

opens the door, making sure to ring the ding a ling bell more than once

Hi there ! Are you open ? Ray is somewhere back there, parking the car

Back to being sore. I didn't take the muscle relaxer last night. But, I'm still better than I was so I'll take it!

No, it is a 1911 Edmund Reichart. Even without the work it is really beautiful.

But it is over 100 years old and in really great shape. Once he's done, I'll have him do an appraisal. I found one online in terrible shape, lifting wood, missing parts and it went at auction for 1,500. So I imagine mine has some additional value. And its numbered 125, so I'm guessing it's an early violin of it's make and model. It has mother of pearl flowers on the bridge. I can't wait to see it all back in playing order!

Great pics.

So who is going to win?

Good to hear! Hooray.

Good. Dinner is done and I get to relax *chuckles* how are doing ?

Good luck Wolffe!

Dang it ~bambou~, sorry you are having it so rough, geez, well, you're a fine woman with inner reserves of strength, and if you look around in there, humor too, laughter in SPITE of everything; Good luck, drink cool drinks, heck, take a walk when you can.

Is the violin a stradivarius? To have your repair guy get that excited it made me wonder

*smiles*. Hey there! Hi ow are you doing?
