My husband is a piano player, having had formal lessons when he was younger. I did have formal lessons but the skills weren’t fully developed maybe because we didn’t have a piano where I can practice or maybe because I do not have the necessary talent and skills that go with it. I rest my case ๐
Anyway, our two children are quite good with the scales even if they haven’t had formal training. We do have several piano sheet music for them though they do not use it when they play. The play the piano mostly by ear.
Below is my youngest daughter practicing the scales:

Yes, she can play some tunes but can not read notes yet ๐ maybe this year since she will be in first grade already.

Whenever my mother-in-law take vacations in the US, she brings home boxes upon boxes of thingamajigs that she buys during yard sale.
Her boxes has, among other things, a small chain saw (I wonder how this passed customs, lol!), candelabras, books, bags, toys for the grandchildren, area rugs, crystal bottles, condiments containers, silverware baskets, and other knick-knacks that catches her fancy.
She has sent several boxes while she was there. She brought one or two when she came home. And still, the boxes keep coming.
Most of the things in it are for her home down south which I am featuring below:

Pardon the clutter, the grandchildren were staying with her when this photo was taken by my eldest daughter.

Last March, my children and I got an invitation to go to the launching of Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts along with blogger friends and media personalities. We had fun being with friends. Our children had fun too playing the games in the venue.

This is a good way to advertisement for a new product, don’t you think so? I had to blur my children’s faces because I don’t want them posted in this blog. Hope you understand.
here is a more detailed post about the event.

I apologize for the uncooked seafood but I could not resist posting this photo of a crablet in the clam. I got a kilo of these halaan for lunch and decided to take photos when I got surprised to see these little creatures. Yep, around half the clams had these crablets inside.

Here are some (soon-to-be) baked mussels and mussels cooked in lemongrass broth which I am sure some of you have already seen.
Have a great week, everyone!
