So, the other day I went to the biggest yard sale I have ever seen. It was sponsored by a youth group at a Baptist church. My friend told me that last year they found a piano there for a great price so this year I went to check it out. I got to the yard sale shortly after it started and found this piano for only 100 dollars (after I negotiated with them). IT is a good thing I went early because while I was buying it 3 people came up and wanted to buy it. They actually had 5 pianos and 2 organs for sale (really it was a HUGE sale of a few acres of stuff) but this piano was the only one that played well. It doesn’t have the bottom board and it has scrapes on it but it plays and sounds great! It must weight 500 lbs but with the help of our 3 neighbor boys we were able to get it here. Derek has been playing it every chance he gets. The kids have also enjoyed singing me songs. I even whipped out the old piano books and played jingle bells for Jensen and he was very impressed until he heard Derek play of course. Really Derek is the one who plays I just love to listen. It is so fun to have piano music in our home. I love it when I find a good deal. Now we just need to rearrange our living room
For father’s day I made matching ties for Jensen and Derek that they wore to church today. Jensen was so excited to wear his tie he told Derek about it a few days ago, oh well. Jensen just loves his dad and copies everything he does. Derek has a stress fracture in his heal and is wearing a walking cast so this week Jensen has been wearing one of his rain boots because his foot has a crack in it too. He was riding his bike yesterday and was sitting on it in the middle of the drive way talking I asked what he was doing and he said he was stuck in traffic and was waiting for all the cars to move. He constantly informs me that he needs to go to work today so won’t be able to play with me. It is a good thing that Derek is a good example for our children to follow. I feel so blessed to have Derek as the head of our home.
