reflecting on various topics
It’s been kind of hard for me, the past few days, because I know school starts again soon, and I’m really enjoying seeing my kids. There has been lots of snuggling. Today I finally set up a chess board I got months ago, and got to play with my oldest. ♥️ I haven’t played chess …
(by the way- I don’t think I’ve introduced you to my piano- this is it! it’s a Chickering. it’s been in my family for four generations. it’s a player piano and has a pump pedal in the base 🙂 it’s lost some keys, and some have stopped playing- something I’m hoping to get fixed soon) …
I’ve posted random piano clips in a few places; thought I’d centralize them. I’m singing in some of them. They’re all very casual, with lots of mistakes.
