keynote

this is a photo I took in 2014 

it was quite a hefty dramatic event 

that Brian and I made happen out in our new yard just shortly

after we moved to our new acreage in the south eastern part of the province

 I took a pic

before the event began

do you know what it is?

our new home on this acreage had one piano 

sitting in the living room that desperately needed a piano tuner and repair work done

 we did not want it, but it came with the house.

I had my

piano I moved into the basement which was my grandmothers and

it is still in top working condition

I paid a mover from "The Brick" store to move it out onto our front

deck.  They were unloading and moving our new furniture and dining set into our

home and I gave them some extra $ to move this piano to the deck outside.

  I tried to sell it/donate it on Kijiji and locally with interest and ...well..it's difficult to pick up

a piano and take it somewhere else.

so....

Brian took his front end loader and picked it up off the

deck (this was tricky but it got accomplished without

ruining our deck)

we burned it

it was really something and quite

sad to see this burn {sigh}

 I did keep the very ornate music stand that was on

this piano. 

I have my grandmother's piano.

It is over 100 years old and plays beautifully

with a tune up every few years!

yes, it was a horrible misery to get this down into yet another

basement (eeks)  it was in Swift Current home too; to note, 

both boys took piano lessons from it as well;

is quite a treasure for me.

I have my grade six piano and I am so grateful my parents

gave me the opportunity to take lessons because I now appreciate and enjoy in my maturing years!
