Just in time for Halloween, I got this phone call."Hi Karen, I had a catastrophe that I need to tell you about."
"Oh no! What happened?"
"You know that half-size violin you loaned my daughter for the year?"
"Uh-huh."
"It was in the driveway, and we were locked out of the house, and . . . it's a long story that I don't feel like talking about right now . . . but it got run over."
"With the car?"
"Yeah."
Alas, it wasn't in a Bobelock case.
Rocky (the bow) survived.
Since my friend's daughter needs an instrument, Shar is getting another customer!
P.S. Haha, I could use one of those engines, Buri - I have definitely forgotten my violin on more than one occasion. :)
