Play it again, Sam

As you know, our kids go to a public charter school. Charter schools are public school that have "specialties" our school, Spectrum Academy, is made for kids with high functioning autism and aspergers syndrome (and their siblings). We are lucky, we only live 10-15 minutes away from the school. There are some kids and teachers who commute much longer than that.

We found a family that lives near us, and we help each other get kids to and from school. On Monday and Wednesday we take James to school and on those days James and his mom bring our kids home. It's a great set up for all of us.

Last Wednesday, Tristan left his back pack in James's car. Tristan called the mom and asked her if it was there and it was and since she needed to go out she would drop it by.

She came to the door and I was visiting a bit with her. She told me that Tristan told her he was taking piano lessons. We have a full size electronic keyboard that has been floating around Chris's side of the family for a while now. Anyway, she told me that she had a piano that they didn't want anymore. Did we want it?

I went and looked at it after I took Tristan to said lesson, and decided to take it.

It's not in the best of shape and could use a good cleaning and tuning, but here it is! Notice the books, Tristan is already practicing more.

There's not a whole lot of room in our house, but I have a feeling that this piano will be well loved. Thanks to James's family for their generosity!

Now it only needs a name......
