Last week Tim decided to take advantage of his off-season and had lunch with each of the kids. It was the highlight of their week. 🙂 They each got to choose two friends to come and sit with them at a special table. And in true Tim-fashion, he brought donuts to share. Fun was had by all.
In other news, it’s recital week! Eeek! We’re moving our recital location back to our original spot (St. John’s Lutheran Church) rather than the nearby Community Center Theater. The church was our preferred spot, but they lost their piano 3 years ago when the church member who owned that piano moved and took it with her. So they’ve been without a piano for 3 years (a keyboard was purchased, but I felt like a recital needs to be on a grand piano) until this past Spring when a prominent church member passed away and the donations went to purchasing a new one. It was his dying wish that the church would get a nice piano. You might remember me posting his obituary a while back… anyway, we are thrilled to be back at that church. I went and tried out the piano earlier this week and it is a lovely piano with really nice feel. Very fun to play on.
Whoo-hoo!! Yeah for new pianos! The church where we hold the madrigal dinner is willing to sell their piano to the school choir for $15,000 and it is a top of the line Yamaha grand, in very good shape. So we might be getting a new piano for the choir room – that would be very cool!
