The neighbors are being serenaded by musical banging now that the piano has finally made it in the house. Chad and Dax were able to get it to the garage, but there was no possible way the two of them could have maneuvered it down seven stairs, around a sharp corner and into the family room. Seeing as how asking the High Priest's Group to help move a 400 pound piano would have resulted in at least five strokes and/or heart attacks, Chad approached the Elder's Quorum for help. They arrived on a sunny Saturday to help make my dreams of a piano-free garage come true, and what a good job they did too! The children are excited to have a new toy and I hope that excitement continues when lessons inevitably start, next year for Merritt, but I'm told that the surest way to get kids to leave the piano alone is to ask them to practice. Hmmm. I hoping that is NOT the case.

The Piano Has Landed!

Yay! That looks a lot like mine! It's always so frustrating to want to get something done that you can't do on your own. What a good feeling to have one more thing where it's supposed to be! I'm still moving things!
When I talked to you the other day I thought I heard a piano being played. That is great that now you have free space in your garage and that you will now be hearing the wonderful noise our kids call music.
I look forward to the day when I can move and GET a piano!!! For now I just have to enjoy the kids xylophone..;)We can actually plunk out "Ode to Joy"!
That piano needs a good workout; it needs its ivories to be tickled! That piano has been around the block and wants to settle down and fill the measure of its creation...maybe it has finally found its true home! I hope so. Love, Sister Mom
