I’ve got to go to bed. I have EARLY church tomorrow, a quick breakfast, and then home to meet the most exasperating piano tuner I’ve ever had. I haven’t had the piano tuned in more than 25 years. (I know, I know. That’s irresponsible.) The pianist doesn’t live here any more, and I just let it slide.

Someone called us on the phone last week and offered pianno tuning for $95. My husband said yes, so this Hungarian man came out. He worked on the piano for THREE HOURS. I thought he’d never leave. Then he said that he could make it look like new by “cleaning” it, get all the dust out, blow out the action, and polish the strings. My husband invited him back. He came on Thurs, but he got tired (after 2 HOURS) and asked to come back on Sunday to finish the job. I was against it, but my hisband said sure.

So, I have to rush home from church, etc. to be here at 10 AM and I’m supposed to go to a picnic for one of the WIS Senators who is being recalled at noon. What do you want to bet that the tuner will not be out of my house in time for us to go to the picnic?

In the mean time there are piano parts laying all over my living room. And there will be one more tuning after this because he was unable to bring it all the way up since it had been so long since it had been tuned. Of course the price has gone up for all this service. I’m not complainng about that because it is justified. But, this man is beoming as annoying as our Congress and our Pres’ent.

I need sleep. Happy Sunday, all.

The head chef has gone to bed hours ago but she would probable slice it and saute it in what I do not know and don’t want to know but I will try to remember to ask her...

Oh, and she would not peel it if she could puncture it with her nails.

ps... I hope you get your piano put back together

I would just wash them slice them and fry them in butter, a pinch of olive oil, salt & pepper. In fact, I’d slice some quite thin and freeze for later use. They would make an impressive presentation on a dinner plate. They look wonderful.
