Unboxing the Santana III - A Love Story
Yesterday - 7/28/2018 - my agonizing wait ended. The UPS man arrived during the climax of the Hallmark Channel Original Film, "A Novel Romance". My friend Dianna and I were deeply engrossed in whether or not Liam and Sophie would work out their issues. Needless to say, MY excitement shifted when the dog began barking as my UPS guy, Charlie, pounded on the door. It was raining, so I signed quickly and dragged the box into the house, leaning it against the foyer wall since the movie was minutes from ending.....
A commercial break - to leave us hanging in suspense - gave me the opportunity to unbox my newest PRS. I had Dianna hold the box upright as I sliced through the securing tape. I was expecting the uncourteous standard of foam peanuts to come pouring out - but, alas, NO (YAY)….I was greeted by an Ibanez box surrounded by paper. Together D and I pulled the second box out, and I was happy to see there was a case inside.
Call me crazy, but I was always under the impression that the Santana case was a little on the massive side. This case seemed to be the standard G&G size. Hmmmm, a mystery....
Right as the commercial break ended, I popped the latches. But....I had invested SO much time Liam and Sophie, so I quickly returned to my Lazy Boy and watched the remaining few minutes of their romantic journey. The suspense of whether or not she would give him another chance was gripping!!! Dianna and I, both, were on the edge of our seats giggling and blurting out how we figured this saga would end.
I sat, torn between the author and his love, and the guitar that was eagerly calling me from its closed home. Finally, the cheese on the TV ended (spoiler alert) - Liam and Sophie made up, and - as typical of Hallmark movies - kissed their way into eternal love and "Happily Ever After". Dianna, whom had never seen a Hallmark movie, was SCANDALIZED that the kiss was the end. Me, being a Hallmark veteran KNEW that the kiss would roll the end credits.
I was out of my seat faster than the Flash, and had the lid to that case open. What laid before, in beautiful Black Cherry was THIS:
(the white "flecks" are reflections from the light)
