Wednesday 02-09-2015 – Tickle the Ivories During National Piano Month!

Yay, KJ. Glad that’s over with and you’re healing nicely! Sorry you had to wait so long….and hungry!

Well, I need a virtual beverage too, but something celebratory like champagne. Emily got her last antibiotic injection! So excited…I hated violating her trust like that. She’d hide and hide then come out because she needed some mommy love then BAM!….she’d get scooped up to be given a shot. She stays hidden when hubby is around because she knows it takes two of us. Wish I could tell her it’s all over now in a way she’d understand.

Still need to get Eko tonight. He’s resting on a high shelf right now…smart kitty. But he’s usually easy to collect…hard to hold still though. He’s bent a couple of needles by jerking when they are in him.

Wow KJ, what a way to spend an afternoon. Well, now it’s over and you can look forward to a new sweater (in record time) and get to meet with a cat guru and that will be good for Dorry and for you if only to relieve your stress about him.
You deserve a latte with lots of fluffy cream on top!

Goodmorning all.
Great pics. LOL at the Do-Re-Me . . and Fred and the Cat thermostat pic.
I used to learn the piano but I didn’t like my teacher, especially when she would rap me on the knuckles for not cupping my hands or hold my wrists up. Good grief lady, I was never going to be a concert pianist, I just wanted to play for pleasure and even that was taken away. I can still play but seldom get to these days. Mum has the piano at her house and I don’t like an audience.
Deb, Yay, doing a happy dance that the frame was not damaged and the repair work will be done quickly. Brilliant news. Enjoy the movie and please give your dad a hug from me when you visit him for his Happy Birthday. 😀 Just heard a friends car was totalled by another car running a red light, no injuries thankfully.
Nooooooooo ! Sal come and visit Abby. I hope that he hasn’t moved away as poor Abby will be inconsolable.
ECB, good to hear Eko’s mouth is fine and the pain patch is gone.
KJ ! We are piano lesson sisters – both been abused on the knuckles. That action is definitely not the way to instill the love and appreciation of music. I’m glad I took music up a few years later although the first try then nearly put me off with a flute teacher who drank and insisted on demonstrating on the ‘borrowed’ flute and then giving it to me to try. Yuk! alcohol and foreign spit. Brother then living in the UK bought me a clarinet and sent it over and I had a much better teacher.
Glad your bite area is looking so much better KJ.
I had a wee accident with a sharp instrument yesterday while doing something for Mum, I sort of stabbed myself in the fleshy base of my thumb. I am looking after it and so far no infection but it is very sore and my thumb is reluctant to move too much.
LOL at ECB and “do you scoop bear poop’ and then I wondered if having bear poop around would encourage other bears to the property or keep them away.
Wow BB, so many turkeys, how wonderful it must be when they come visiting. BB you too with a strict music teacher. Piano lessons are a good foundation.
KZ I hated the recitals too. Oh, I used to be able to read music but forgot and then had to teach myself again later when I joined a local orchestra, I just always played by ear but you can’t do in an orchestra.
KJ, thank goodness you don’t have to take any more antibiotics. Just heal now.
Oh, no more antibiotics for Emily either ! ! Yay.
Funny story – we had rain yesterday, enough to get Noah concerned. HRH spent most of the day inside asleep but went out late afternoon then back inside for dinner and back outside. I heard Mr MS arrive home a short while later and then my phone rang, Mr MS calling from the drive to say “check the front porch”. There was HRH nomming down on some small bird happily. Not enough feathers left for identification. She then came inside for a beef chaser. There was me becoming concerned at her recently picky appetite.

KJ, love G & S musicals and most musicals. I met Mr MS playing in the orchestra for My Fair Lady and it turns out we had met many years before that when we were about seven years of age and our respective Mothers were helping out with the costumes for the Mikado. Small world.
I think we did 4-5 musicals before we married and moved to the country. We loved doing the shows, so much fun with all the stage and orchestra pit people together for after opening/closing night parties. Always a vibrant crowd.
I am sure Dorry would find his instincts kicking in. He had a wonderful time here yesterday while you were out. He and HRH manafed to nip outside between showers and thunder storms and chase leaves across the wet lawn.
My hand is becoming tired and sore typing so I will disappear for a while.

Mom had signed me and my sister up for piano lessons. I went to the lesson but didn’t bother staying there. I thought I was so smart until the piano teacher sent the bill and only one student was taking lessons. 😮

OK MS-you sorta stabbed your thumb?!? Miss Gaea does that as well. Why aren’t you eating your food? Then I find a tail or a feather…

Concats on your niece getting hitched and many happy times together.
