All 88 keys!
This is our new piano! We found an amazing deal, and just couldn't pass it up. It's a Roland MP-60 digital piano, complete with a library of 65 songs! I still have a lot of catching up to do as far as skills go, but it's been fun playing again. I also did a lot of research on the Internet, and I came across a TON of sheet music, so I'm excited to play more "pop culture" kinds of songs that I know and love.* * *
Desperate times call for desperate measures...
I discovered, amidst our adventures of house training, that Vixen had a tendency to use the bathroom as soon as Dave shut the door behind him for work. Not elated at the opportunity to clean up urine at 6:30 in the morning, I started bringing my pillow and blanket to the futon every morning to keep an eye on her. This has created a bittersweet daily routine for me; but hey -- as long as she's cuddled up and asleep beside me, that means she's not off peeing somewhere in the house!* * *
Grandma Clark and Grandma Ridge, I mostly wanted to take these pictures for you! Aren't they beautiful? These were just a few on our short walk to the beach!
Sunset on the beach! Dave and I went for a much-needed walk at the perfect time of day! We also took a book ("The Hobbit") and I read out loud to him. I think that has become one of our favorite things to do together.
ABOVE: It's hard to see here, but there are two sailboats on the horizon. BELOW: What an evening to remember the camera! The sunset was gorgeous. The pictures are blurry, but that's what happens with lower lighting. Just squint and pretend they're sharp! In these first two pictures, there was a streak of blue under the moon, and we thought it looked pretty cool.
These are the kinds of pictures you've been expecting, aren't they? :) We're glad to finally have some typical Hawaiian sunset/ beach shots, and that we can share them with you all!
