Pictures, at last! Miz Gooch's piano

Stella here.

Well, as you c'n see, we got th' cam'ra workin' in tandem with th' laptop again. So here's a picture o' somethin' I forgot t' mention when I was tellin' y' about cleanin' at Miz Gooch's t' other day.

First's some o' her winda box flowers. She sets great store by her flowers, she does.

But th' second's her ol' piano that th' grandkids, when they got here, put out by th' road with a "FREE" sign propped in front o' it. It sat under a leak she had in her ceilin' an - as y' c'n see, th' wood's just a-peelin' right off. What y' can't see's that th' keys're all swole up an' stuck t'gether.

Me an' Molly couldn't do nothin' with it when we went over t' clean.

It's kinda too bad. She saved up an' bought that piano second hand for her son t' practice on. Thought he was gonna be some sort o' prodigy, only he turned out t' have a tin ear just like her an' no inclination at all t' play.

He went off t' work in advertizin' an' lives in New York. Hardly ever gets time t' come home. It's the grandkids that visit as often as they can.

I'll be some surprised if that piano ain't still settin' there a month from now. It ain't good f'r nothin' but kindlin' th' way it is now.

I'm gonna see if I can't get a few o' them Moxie Day at Moody's pictures up f'r y' t' see.

I'll sign off this postin' an' set up a new one with th' pictures.

Look f'r 'em!

Love,

Stella
