the Christmas piano

Boughs of greenery
candlelight, vanilla. Next?
A day for lovers.

I'll bet pianos don't shed as much as trees. When we first got married Hon made me buy her an upright piano. She couldn't stand it because it kept telling her to practice. She felt so guilty we sold it. I got her an old player piano.

I love that bull painting! And, your haiku. Thankfully, there are two months until then. Plenty of time to put. the cookies. down. :o)

You are so lucky to have a musical husband! I nearly got S.B. voice lessons for Christmas, because he swears one of the reasons he doesn't get better on the guitar is because he has a terrible voice (I see his point). Which he seriously does. Cracks me right the heck up. I do a great impression of him and when I called the vocal coach, I sang to her and said, "You think you can do anything with that?" There were a couple of moments of silence on the other line. So, I opted for a package of Isotopes tickets and some Ray Bans :o)

moi: I wish I could say i painted it. It was painted by Jennifer Cawley. We worked together in ATL's frame shop (sweatshop) to the stars. It was 600 dollars; it took me months to pay for and was the first big art purchase I ever made. Google her. the work has really changed (not for the better IMHO) grherhaha on SB's musical challenges...stick to baggin' game, Buddy.

aunty: i am over it. I need to eat only twigs and leaves from now on. I am like a blubberous post-holiday whale.

doom: look at you all playful

faery: oh girl..

Very good Haiku. Is it possible to be a Valentine's Day grinch?

Sweet indeed! Just got home from IA and an unexpectedly good family holiday. Don't know if I'll be able to make it around to catch up with everyone before I have to go back to the office salt mine in the a.m. But am so glad to get back to my bloggy friends :)

Merry New Year!
