So, I sat down and tried to decide what to blog about. I am just trying to get through the last few weeks of the school year. With 6th graders it is always busy and a test of wills. I love my students but somedays are harder than others. We are all ready for our summer break.
I could blog about:
- what my summer plans are...but they are all up in the air right now so I'm not sure.
- the amazing date I had last week. Oh wait, that was in my imagination. :)
- the new Burnt Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe I tried a while back...but they turned hard overnight and I didn't like them.
- Mother's Day. Mom and Dad came over for dinner. It was fun. I even played "I Often Go Walking" for mom on my new piano.
My new piano... of course. I can blog about that.
It's a beauty! It is a brand new KAWAI upright. I have had a heck of time photographing it because it is so shiny! As most of you know, I am not the best pianist in the world. However, it is amazing to me how a piano helps a house become a home. I love playing those same songs I ended my lessons with and of course the hymns. I can't wait for Christmas to come rolling along so I can play Christmas carols.
I told Grandma Stott about the piano the other day and got roped into bringing some music along to play for her the next time I come to Utah. Sometimes it doesn't work to my advantage that her memory is so good. By the way, the picture on the left-hand side is of Grandpa Stott's trumpet. I took it at Grandma's 90th birthday party and blew it up. It looks pretty good up there. The photo in the corner is of the prophet Thomas S. Monson. Our Stake Presidency challenged us to have a picture of the prophet up in our homes. So, the Relief Society in our ward gave each of us a copy of this candid shot. I love it. I needed a place to put it until I got a proper frame for it. So, it join the piano display.
Anyway, I love my new piano.
And now I have posted. Check!
With summer on the way, I should be better!
