Another Important Last....

           I went to the "piano preludes" at the elementary school today.  Before the spring school concert kids who play piano take turns performing.  It always means a lot to them if I am there to listen to my students----important commitment.  This was the last one for me here in Park Falls.  The program's theme was Cowboy songs.  (My first memory of TV was when I was around 6 years old----when living with my foster family in Indiana.  Every evening I would sit on the brown weaved oval shaped rug and watch a half hour program of cowboy music---Tumbling Tumble Weeds, Red River Valley, Happy Trails.  Music must have been  my life blood even back then.)

        Most of the day was beautiful and warm.   I took a walk this morning; spring blossoms are all over town.

"Ol' Dan Tucker was a mighty man,
washed his face in a frying pan,
combed his hair with a wagon wheel
and died with a toothpick in his heel."
(folk song)






     The day was also a bewildering house buying prep day--phone calls, faxes and failed faxes, emails, more phone calls, worried thoughts, forms to look over and sign, concerned thoughts, excited thoughts.  The closing should be accomplished by Tuesday 5/15.  Then I will be excited!!

This has been a good piano prelude, spring walk, house buying prep day in the life of Grandma G.
