DD's New Metronome and other musings

April 14th, 2006 at 09:39 pm

My DD takes viola in school. Today I had to get a new A string put on. It cost me a few dollars. The rental company would have replaced it free but there is the matter of tolls and gas traveling into the next county to get the free string.

I bought my DD a battery operated metronome. It is a new elctronic type and the first thing my DD says is that she wants the old one with the swinging arm. No thank you's just a complaint.
26 dollars for the device. Still have to go get the 9V battery.

Truth be told I would spend my last nickle on my DD. She is frugal with money. She really does not ask for much.

We are having relatives over for the Easter Holiday. I talked the DW into having less snack type stuff before dinner. I figure we'll save money and not ruin peoples appetites. We got a 21 lb Turkey for twelve dollars using a points promo at the local grocery.

I am going to veg out and not think about things financial this weekend. I am just going to sit back and enjpy the holiday. My DD will be playing th piano Sunday for the family. I guess the greatest wealth in the world is family and my daughter makes me feel very wealthy indeed.

Happy Holidays to everyone and God Bless!

    My father was extremely frugal but not too frugal to spring for piano lessons. He took great pride in the fact that I played. I probably would have kept playing if I had been part of a band or church group. In later years I could have parlayed that into wedding gigs or choir rehearsals for extra income.

    anykind of music is good to know... practice what you really enjoy doing... we paid big fees for our older son to take guitar lessons, he did not use them.. our younger son loves to play the guitar, but, he has self learned it himself... he really enjoys it...
