The newest edition to our dining room! There really isn't room in our dining room for a table and a piano but yet here it is! A couple from Raymond's mission, Mike and Roxanna Maturo (We have had the opportunity to stay with this family a few times and we just love them so much!), asked Raymond if he wanted it and assuming his future wife would be a great pianist said yes. Shortly after his mission he drove back to California and brought home a piano. Since he was living at home at the time it was kept at his parents house and since we got married we have not had room nor lengthy enough stays at any apartment to warrant moving it with us. So Raymond's parents are now doing some remodeling and wanted to put it in a storage bay and we just couldn't handle that so we moved it home! This piano may be a little beat up and definitely out of tune but this beauty was built in the late 1800's and still works great! And no Raymond nor his wife play the piano, but the wife has started teaching herself and is doing pretty good! All of my aunts are amazing pianists so hopefully I can rub off some of the family charm!
