My piano, long awaited and often dreamed of, has arrived! No, it’s not a name brand, and no, it isn’t worth a million dollars, but it is mine, it’s here, it’s beautiful, and (did I mention?) it’s HERE – in my house! I’d say it sounds wonderful but that’d be a lie. It’s out of tune. Terribly out of tune. But once we get it tuned (in a week or two) it’ll be great and then I won’t cringe every time I play it. And when it doesn’t make me cringe, I’ll post a link to a song or two played on it. In case you needed some piano music or something. \ud83d\ude42 For now, be satisfied by a link to pictures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is SO wonderful to have a piano in the house again! It does add a little to the noise factor as the smaller kids don’t know how to do anything but pound on it, but for the most part it is wonderful to have the sounds of a piano filling my home again. And, as my favorite stress reliever, it’s great to have. There’s nothing like playing a rousing version of Eye of the Tiger or Stairway to Heaven when my nerves are stretched past their breaking point!<\/p>\n

There’s really not much else to say. I LOVE my piano. It took forever to get it here but really, the wait is over, it’s here, it’s great, and that’s all that matters!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
