There’s Nothing Better Than A Day With Surprises

Don’t you just love surprises?  And I don’t mean the disappointing surprises of bad things that people do that basically shock and surprise you.  I’m talking about the kind of surprises that make your whole being burst out in SMILE.   Those are the kind of surprises that make my day something really special to mark down in the memory book. 

 

 

 

Yesterday, I was out with my business partner, Will Hamm.  We were previewing model homes at Pulte in Shouthshore.  I was upstairs taking some pictures of one of the models when I suddenly heard piano music coming from downstairs.  I wondered who had come into the home to play the beautiful piano that I had noticed earlier. 

 

 

 

I finished taking pictures upstairs and was so surprised to see Will sitting at the piano just playing away.  I had no idea he could play!  And it wasn’t just chop sticks kind of playing. 

 

 

 

I quickly snapped a quick picture of him playing from the stairs before he looked over and caught me.  I know he would never want me to blog about his piano playing so – shhhhhh don’t tell him.

Good morning Belinda. What a lovely story and wonderful surprise indeed. It is hard to believe you never knew Will played. Oh well, you know now.

Belinda,  I have not played in years and no one knows how bad I play, so do not pass this on.  You should hear me play the drums but that has been many years also.

Belinda- What a treat!  Glad you got the picture too!  These are the little things that occur in our day that make it all worthwhile.

Belinda, Will does seem to have many talents that we don't know about. Thanks for sharing your surprise. It's amazing how things you have learned years ago can suddenly re-appear, like Will piano playing abilities.

What a wonderful surprise. So now lets see....Will is a fabulous cook, loves to surprise you with flowers, and plays the piano too. Sounds like you found the 'golden nugget' in business partners. :0)

I love when the house fills up with music. I was at a house today where the homeowner just sat down spontaneously at his piano on this grey, rainy day and started playing. So beautiful. Makes me wish I had some musical ability.

It's so much fun when we learn something new about people we think we know so well. I have a baby grand in my home. My daughter plays. There's nothing quite like it.
