The Tale of the Piano

A couple weekends ago we sold our piano. It has been very bittersweet for me. We needed to sell the piano so our living room would look bigger and more open to potential home buyers. And, to be honest .... it wasn't the greatest of pianos, and we always said when we moved out of this house (at least if we were to move cross-country again) that we would sell it and buy a new piano after reaching our new location. So, when I listed the piano on Craig's List all I thought about was a new piano ... one that would be a little easier to keep in tune, one that would be a little smaller, and one that would have a better sound quality.

Little did I realize how much I would MISS this ugly piano! A day has not passed in which I haven't turned the corner from the kitchen, or walked down the stairs, with every intention of sitting down at the piano and playing a restful tune. I MISS THIS PIANO! Playing the piano is so relaxing for me, and it's been really hard to not have a piano in the house. I hope our house sells soon, if not so we can all be reunited in Arizona, so that I can get a new piano and my stress level can reduce!

The thought of selling our piano, when we were suppose to move up to Washington, was very sad thought for me. Thankfully we didn't have to move that far, so the piano didn't have to go. I would've missed it terribly, so I feel your pain. It's funny how such a "clunky" thing can give so much comfort. Music is amazing!!

Just as an FYI, I know you read my blog. You always leave a comment, but I do believe you're the only one. Thxs :)

So I banished myself from reading blogs until I got mine caught up...did you just infer that you're moving? To UTAH?? That last part was just my wishful thinking, but am I right??

Pink Day

Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
