Mom and Dad came up after am meeting on Sunday as the weather had let up a bit and the roads were going to be okay. They had already loaded the piano on Thursday or Friday I believe so it was ready to go when the weather was okay.
So glad to finally have our piano. Oh how I have missed thee! ;) Actually, its not a piano we have ever owned before. This piano is somewhat new to us. If you haven't read some of our older posts, it is a piano we inherited from Gramma Sinclair... and feel to very very lucky to have been chosen to have it here in our home!!! I plays beeeeeautifully. Now if only my rusty fingers would work like they used to :(
On another note, we got another table too. This also came in the load from mom and dad's. It was a piano of Gramma Shultz' the one that the Shultz family grew up with. It came from the States when the family moved to SK. It says it was patented in 1915. Mom Sinclair tells us that they also used this table not only as a dinning table, but for table tennis too! I love hearing stories like that, of things they used to do to entertain themselves.... no toys, hardly any money, nothing special at all, just simplicity. They did with whatever they had around the farm. They even had a circus in the summer time!!!! That has to be my all time favorite story! Well, maybe next to their pet/talking crow! (for those of you who haven't heard this story, its for real, they had a crow that would talk and laugh with them and at them on the farm. He was short lived though when he decided to stay around the farm over the winter when all the other crows left... and went to go and perch himself on the calf drinking bowl and drowned as a result. The ice was too thin and he fell right through) A sad day on the Shultz farm.
Now back to a happy note..... here are some pics of our new piano!!!!
