RN, I have been there once before on a long layover. We did a quick city tour. My favorite thing to say. "We had lunch in Paris on our way home from Istanbul"

RN I am the proud owner of a Wurlitzer mahogany upright piano I got at an auction for $100.00!!! The piano is in near-perfect condition and has a terrific bounce in the key action. I haven't had a piano in the house since I was a teenager, I am SO EXCITED!! And . . . here she is!!

RN I'm rusty, Twinks, but I'm looking forward to pulling out the sheet music and limbering up.

RN That's absolutely gorgeous GAL! And a total steal for the price! Enjoy, enjoy. Maybe you could upload a video of your playing once you get all limbered up. I envy your musical talent. Big Musical Hugs.

That's a beautiful piano! It's actually a spinit. I can't believe it went that low. I wish my mother hadn't gotten rid of our piano.

RN, Aurora, it was an off-day at the auction where they were advertising "primitives" (old farm collectibles) and antique firearms. It drew the hardcore collectors of those items rather than the "let's go see what they have" crowd. We weren't even going to go, but we were bored. And there it was glowing at me from across the room it went into slow-mo like a movie. I stayed an extra couple of hours just to see what would happen and lord did it pay off.

RN. Congratulations GAL! That is a beautiful piano. The mahogany wood alone is worth far more than the purchase price.

RN, Beautiful, GAL! I'm amazed you got it so cheap when there were hardcore collectors there. Boy, were you lucky with that beauty.

RN, I am SO happy that Phil Mickelson won the Masters (and not Tiger Woods). Watching him with his wife, Amy, who is suffering from breast cancer, is very moving; they're both weeping with joy. Today's the first day all week she's been able to get out of bed to join him on the green. One more green jacket for Phil!

Just finished watching that myself, Holly. What a day for Phil. He's been my favorite golfer for some time now since he won me some serious money in a tournament years ago when I was the only one in my league to pick him to win. Doesn't hurt that he's one of the good guys too.

RN I was very happy Phil won. I'm surprised (sadly) that Amy is so sick. She looks wonderful.

RN I've never had a spinet but that will probably be my next piano. I just don't want to get one until we are living where we plan to stay for a few years. And if we settle in a place big enough I'll get my Yamaha grand from my cousin. I dearly love that piano. My parents bought it for me when I was 13 and played with the FL symphony. Can't put it in a small house though.

RN, I noticed a wasp sitting on my window frame next to my desk, so I grabbed the flyswatter. Then I saw that it was trapped in a small spider web, and a teeny tiny spider is making his move. The wasp keeps trying to use his 'tail' to get the spider, but so far it's not working. This is like watching a nature documentary! (But I've got the flyswatter close at hand in case the spider loses the epic battle!)

RN, I am thoroughly enjoying the bird feeder I have put outside my office window. I am amazed at the brilliant colors of the different birds. I just saw a gorgeous woodpecker.

RN I am feeling so on edge this morning, no idea why. Can't sit still, can't focus on anything, and I'm totally jumpy.
