I'm about to brag on my fiscally conservative wife. Middle child has been taking piano at my behest since she was six (now 15). She has been a difficult child to parent and I just knew she would balk at piano before she hit the teens. Lo and behold, she kept playing and now practices without any reminding (go figure that one?). She has been asking about a "real" piano (we have an electric console type) but I didn't really want to fork out the big kahunas. My wife started searching and found one on Craigs List. Long story short, it's a baby grand piano from an estate sale at a really great low price and we had it delivered today while she is out with friends. Will be a big surprise later today. Just wanted to share this bit of excitement.
