The ^ > V Game

[hbunny]

^ I do, I play piano.  Took many, many years of lessons.  I rarely play anymore though.

> I just donated the piano my parents purchased for me in 1974 to the church that my hubby and I were married in.  They have a school attached and many of the children are taught piano there.  It was very hard to part with, but we don't have the room and I never play it.  I wanted it to either be used by a church or go to needy children.

v  Do you donate items at Christmas, or doing something such becoming an angel tree sponsor, or buying for others anonymously?

 

[Kat0121]

I used to go to museums a lot, but my year membership expired and I haven't gotten a new one. It's nice, but I'd like to have more money again.
