My morning was industrious...feed snowball, do laundry, rug hooking, and clean up the xmas tree needles and branches mess from dragging in our real tree we brought home last nite. I walked by grandma Trembley's piano in the basement and brought out the Christmas music and started to play. Every Christmas I practice all the songs I love at Christmas time and play them for my family to put us in the Christmas spirit.
Playing the piano was a personal anguish when I was growing up and Mom and Dad kept sending me to piano lessons. I finally quit when I took my grade 6 piano exam and had to play in front of adjudicators/judges or whatever you call them. I passed and I never continued further.
I am so grateful for my dad and mom for making me take lessons. I find it so relaxing and enjoyable now, when I practice...I do get rusty...so I polish myself up every December. I am not one for playing the piano in front of people because I just get too nervous! Brian and Tom and Mom and Dad love to hear me play {they are my biggest fans}
this piano I bought from the "family" for $400 about 15 years ago. It was my grandma's piano so it is a family heirloom that I treasure and it still plays beautiful...the piano tuner comes every once in a while and says "man if i could be in that good of shape when I am a 100 years old....".

You are very lucky to be able to "tickle the ivorys"! I wish I could play better then I do. I only know 5 songs and my boys run away when I start to play! :-( Perhaps I should put "learn to play the piano" on my Bucket List!! :-)
Christmas music and oh, a real tree! Sounds lovely ...sigh.
Thats good mom i hope to hear your piano playing soon
