Geeeeeetar

11 July 2006 by kristarella

I spent nearly all of yesterday afternoon restoring hubby’s neglected guitar. He doesn’t play it that much, he’s actually a piano player. It’s a beautiful semi-acoustic Fender. Mine is as well but my dad and I put the pick up in it and mine doesn’t have a cut-away… it’s not as pretty as his. It’s […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
