alikiAh, I had a good momentum going, but then on Day 22 I missed "Free", and on Day 24 I missed "Sunrise". Okay, technically I'm up every morning at sunrise, but it's because a little 2-month old needs to nurse, so I'm not going to grab a camera, go outside, and snap a photo of the sunrise. Not when I need to nurse her while she's still sleepy so she falls back asleep. (If I wait too long, she wakes fully and then it'll be an hour before she sleeps! That's not so fun at 5 AM)
Day 23 - Black and White
This is my grand piano, a gift from my mother-in-law when I was 25 years old. As I was driving home and listening to a particularly exciting NY Yankees game, I came rushing in the door to tell Brian the news, I think I burst through the front door, shouting "you wont believe the home run that----" and then the words left me, because there in the living room, was a grand piano. What a surprise!!
I started formal piano lessons when I was four years old. I had nine years of formal lessons until I was 15 years old, and during my final year of formal lessons, I had three separate classes (a "regular" piano class, a music theory, and a music composition class) and I think as a 15-year old, spent close to 10 hours a week at the piano. I can't say I loved it at the time, but I look back appreciatively at how my mother pushed me to keep up my classes. She said I could quit when I reached high school, and I did, and it's a big regret of mine.
Day 25 - Neighbourhood
This is the street that we live on. Again, see the beautiful old mature trees? Love, love, love!
So much shade, so quiet, so peaceful.
Day 26 - Pet
Taking a photo of Kade, our 10-year old Border Collie, would've been too easy. He follows me (or really, Erika) everywhere, and so I thought I'd showcase another pet we have. This is Erika's 6-inch green anole lizard named Shrek. She purchased him November 2012 and he lives on a diet of live crickets. He lost his tank partner, a long-tailed lizard named Flip-Flop in August 2013, which made Erika incredibly sad. Erika has also requested a turtle, a tarantula, and a snake as pets, but I've said "not right now" (but really mean NO).
