Freecycling

Hi! I am SOOO excited! I'm getting a piano next week (if we can get enough big strong men to help load it)!!!! I have missed having one around so much -- especially since my ability had gone down the toilet without practice. David introduced me to the wonderful world of "freecycling", where people give and receive things for free in a local area, and this morning he emailed to ask if I wanted a piano! I of course said YES, and now we can go pick it up from the Lake Perry area anytime!

Although it may not be a show piece (it's description was "painted a buttery yellow with a faded decal and 'distressed' finish"), it is definitely something to be excited about. Maybe I can finally learn/master how to "make up" accompaniment from chord sheets and play "improv" parts for UC music things (however, at UC, I would have to use a keyboard, as I don't think we could get the big strong, men to load and unload my buttery-yellow, upright piano twice a week indefinitely). Regardless, I am looking forward to being able to play for me again, as a stress reliever and just for enjoyment! I'm sure Erin will enjoy it too, but we'll have to cross that bridge as we get there. Now our neighbors ... don't know how they'll enjoy our new instrument, but they haven't complained about David's guitar or bass, so I'm hoping for the best!

Have a fabulous Tuesday!
