Gary playing offertory
A few months ago a work colleague mentioned to the choir director that Gary could play the piano, so he was asked to provide special music one Sunday. Those who know decided he had more rhythm than Perry Como, and therefore, he was asked to play again. Today's song, "I Love You, Lord" seemed to fit in just right with the holiday weekend.
But being the perfectionist that he is, he couldn't bear to perform when there were two notes obviously out of tune--he's been griping about them for several weeks. So what does he do? He skips Sunday School and tunes the wayward strings. (No, he didn't tune the whole piano, just the notes that were in the key he was playing in.)

OK! This is soooooo great!
Our piano has not been tuned since we were married, 23 1/2 years ago. (probably a while before that, since my folks had it)
Now, here is my plan: when we come down for Ardith's graduation, we bring the piano with us, and Gary tunes it!
Is this a great plan, or what?
Sounds like something jesse would do.. it drives him crazy to play on a piano that isn't tuned!
Ma Hoyt, your plan is great except for the "we bring the piano with us" part. Are you bringing a semi to haul all of Ardith's stuff back home?
And if you do really come to Dallas on your way to Longview, come and visit! When is her graduation anyway?
Julie-nice to hear from you!
Graduation is May 7th
