May today there be peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born in faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. St. Theresa’s Prayer

One of My Favorite Things
Dad found this piano on craigslist. Then he loaded it on a trailer and unloaded it again at our old house. Then moved it into the cabin--smashing his hand in the process. Somewhere along the way, I'm sure he wished he'd never shown it to me. But now it has a special place in the corner of our cabin and I think the nearest thing to Heaven is listening to our children play the piano.
(I love this piano because it was made in 1905--it is SOLID and weighs a TON-- and was in the same family for 40 years. The guy we bought it from said it was in the same spot in his house for the whole 40 years. I also LOVE the piano stool--it has claw feet with glass balls in all four legs.)
PS We have dial-up so the pictures look blurry to me-- is that how they are showing up on the blog?
