Our Adoption

We have a new member in our family. We cancelled our plans to attend the Ren Fest and went out today after hearing that this orphan needed a new home. The family conditions were appalling. Look at the photo. He was living in these squalid conditions since the end of October when Wilma came to town.

It was covered in a blue tarp to try to give it shelter as the owner had to live elsewhere. She handed us a dust mask to wear before we went in and she donned one herself. It was love at first sight. The previous owner only wanted
$10 for it, but it had to be moved out immediatly. DEAL! Blaine paid $100 to the previous owner, a little old lady who was very worried how it was going to get home since she lived on the 2nd story of condo complex.

The transportation home was arranged and we took ownership. Two professionals moved it down the 15 steps and to our home. At home it received a thorough mold-killing cleaning and it settled right in and looks to be a long-time member of the family. Gypsy hasn't paid much attention to it yet, but we can see where she should settle down on it quit nicely in the future. Meet BALDWIN.

Moving fees: $200. Total cost $300!. Priceless. He's tuning right now because he can't wait to play 'our' piano even though he's off the whole next week for Spring Break.
