Good morning! Tuesday finds us focussed on our track “Into the Jordan.” Jer’s guitar of choice is a Martin D35, one of Roy Salmond’s many, many gorgeous guitars. This particular guitar was damaged nearly irreparably, but through a series of events and people, found its way into the hands of John Larrivee himself…and after three years of waiting, came back to its owner repaired and ready for guitar connoisseurs such as my hubby to discover and delight in.
And speaking of delight, last night was a lovely night off-and-out! The four of us made our way to Crescent Beach where we found a patio-on-the-beach restaurant and watched the sun go down over the Pacific. Beautiful. Mike and I enjoyed some calamari while the less fishly-adventurous Zeyls sampled some taro chips before our main courses. Then a walk down the beach with an ice cream cone before smuggling a contraband bottle of wine (hidden in Leanna’s purse) down to some rocks and settling in to be lulled by the sea.
Reminds me of this snippet from a poem I read on my and Jer’s first date:
“Is it the stillness of the water that moves me or the movement of the water that stills me?”
They say a picture’s worth a thousand words, so I’ll leave you with these two:

It appears you folks had a good evening out after getting into and out of the Jordan as Jer strummed the Martin D35. It sounds like some sort of weapon, you know an AK 47 or whatever it is. Nevertheless, the ocean seems to have beguiled you love birds once again (and also the autre love birds). Wonderful, but do keep the music happening. Thanks for keeping us updated with the blogs. What`s next on the fish menu, sour herring?!
Take care,
Dad – Love from Mom & me aussi
