Day 87 of 1000

For the first time in five years we will have a fairly big group of people at our house for Thanksgiving.  Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah will get here on Tuesday along with our dear friend Gladys Christie.  That makes seven and we expect to have an additional three to seven people beside that.  It is not as big as we did in Oregon, but it that is OK because we need a medium size one to get back in practice.  Lorena had me do a little work on a clogged shower and she has been preparing like crazy for a week.  Studies should slow down a little after the weekend, so I am sure she will put us all to work.

We purchased a Wurlitzer console piano for the family about eleven years ago for about $2500.  It was a big financial hit at the time, but has been an absolute joy ever since.  Kelly took piano lessons for ten years with that piano and Christian took three years of lessons as a little kid before he switched to guitar.  Kelly still plays the piano frequently, but, since she no longer takes formal lessons, we have let it get out of tune.  We decided that everyone would probably want to sing hymns or play the piano during Glad and Grandpa and Grandma’s visit we would use that as an excuse to get the piano tuned.  That happened on Tuesday so we are all set!
