Our “hometown bar” during our time in Alpine… This scene reminds me of the song “Your Sweet and Shiny Eyes” – and I don’t even care if it’s Bonnie Raitt or Jackson Browne or Gretchen Peters and Tom Russell singing it. (Although I prefer the Gretchen/Tom version if I’m being honest).

In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar and it’s my birthday
Drinking salty margaritas with Fernando
