Tickling the Ivories

One day at church, my husband and I happen to both be in the same class together, 

and there was no one who could play the piano for our songs. 

I haven't touched a piano in a very long time, but thought I'd give it a whirl, and volunteered. 

Much to my complete surprise, my piano playing wasn't utterly awful. 

When I took my seat, my husband said, 

"Lets get you a piano, I would love that for you."

He spent the next days scouring the classifieds to find a piano for me. 

We found this one for sale not even a mile away, 

and when we went to check it out- it was so completely PERFECT to me. 

We got it home and in the house 

(not an easy task at all, if you've ever moved a piano!) 

and we put it in our downstairs library area. 

I'm self-taught, so my playing isn't precisely right,

but my family seems to not be too picky.

I play at bedtime as the kids are settling into bed,

and they'll request their favorites and clap after each song,

until they fall asleep. 

I've really loved having a beautiful piano to play

and learn new songs or relearn old songs on-

It lifts my spirits to be playing the piano again.
