Grenier plays five instruments or something and seems to know a lot about recycling(Which might just means he knows smart people to get his talking points from, but still...) He is pretty much of a spacy hippie/ster, however. Probably bought all his bros Casteneda after he read him.

'suela, hope you are able to take a real, restful vacation sometime very soon.
And, yeah, that's great your brothers are there to help deal. You've done enough dealing for several lifetimes of daughter-hood.

Shit, I'm sorry Consuela. But it never seemed likely that she was going to go easy. But this will be better for her and she will make the adjustment.
I'm just sorry it's been such a rough haul for you and your family.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry the transition is being so rough, Suela.

Suela, I hope posting here helps you, and I wanted to tell you that some of us are taking copious notes, because right now our mother is 63 and in excellent health, but boy does she have the inherent personality potential to be just as much trouble in 20-30 years.
So, we got a piano last year and nobody is any good at playing it yet. My goal is to teach myself a Christmas carol a week until Christmas, notes and chords (I have a book and am quite good at picking things out by ear, although I need chord notes). I can almost do Jingle Bells. Suggestions for other easy ones? Silent Night has got to be simple, right? Good King Wenceslas?

Frosty the Snowman is easy.
12 Days of Christmas is also easy - and repetitive.
White Christmas is pretty easy if you have the basic music book

'suela, I am sorry that this vacation sucks, but I am glad that at some point in the future, you will have less stress to deal with. Also, that your brothers are here helping.
flea, I'm jealous. Not of the piano, but of the learning something fun and interesting.
I made a wreath out of stripey straws and hung it in our front window. It's making me happy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was planning on weeding this morning, but it is gray and drizzly, so I am doing brunch and Tjs instead I hope it clears up later, but it is also excellent going back to bed weather.

And separately, consuela, I am sorry about the melt down. I am glad having you brothers here has helped some.
