Pay it Forward

We are now the proud owners of a piano! Jillian has been wanting to take piano lessons for about a year now and I had to keep telling her, "Not now, we don't have a piano." I was sitting at the computer one morning doing something really important, like checking my email or reading blogs, and a message from my freecycle group popped up that said "Offered: Piano." I responded right away asking for the dimensions. There's only one place in our whole house where a piano would fit, and it was the perfect size! I told the woman that I would like to come see it, so that afternoon a friend and I went to look at it. It was beautiful! My friend's son, who is a gifted pianist, played a few songs and it sounded great! The woman even looked like she was having second thoughts after hearing it played so well. When Brad, my dad, and four of our great friends went to pick it up, the woman said that she had given it away for free since she thought someone would have to pay a mover to move it. (She obviously hasn't heard of the Elder's Quorum!) So, she told Brad that now we have to "Pay it Forward." We're on the lookout for something really great that we can do for someone.
