Perry and I trying on some of Dad’s old Pine Valley sweaters…..we’ll be keeping these:

My mom was visiting a friend’s piano store and called my dad to come and look. He drove right over from work and as they were looking around he asked:
If you could have any piano in this room what would you pick?
My mom picked out a black Young Chang grand piano that they couldn’t afford……just for fun….. but then they both agreed on a used, inexpensive brown stand up. My dad was scared that my mom might buy the stand up when he left so he started arguing in circles until my mom got fed up and said “I’m leaving”. That was exactly what he wanted to hear……
