Year Three, Day 322: I Went to a Party. And I Liked it! :)

I went to a party. And I liked it!

Ok, I was actually hired. One of the altos from the choir I accompany was celebrating her one year of legal wedded bliss.  She hired me to come play piano for a sing-along.  But she made me promise to come early to have some lunch.

And what a spread! Salmon, dolmathes, feta cheese spread, hummus and even a gluten free plum cake!  I told her I was not expecting payment when she asked. The food was payment enough!  But she handed me a nice envelope as I departed.

I really had a nice time. At first, my normal social anxiety threatened to take over. But I just smiled and people started talking to me. It helped that I knew some people from the choir I accompany, and a few ladies came from a previous choir I had accompanied.

And then I sat down at the piano and people started calling out requests from their songbooks, and I was like a fish in water!

I even picked up a new, adult piano student.

I really should do more of this!

And I am pleased to report, I did not overdo it on the food.  It helped having a piano to keep my hands occupied!

I am at the library now. They are about to close and the sunshine is beckoning me. So I bid you farewell, and a happy evening.

Talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Zita

P.S. Here is today's hooping video. Day 276!

And in honor of "Holy Saturday" or "Easter Eve", I recorded this lovely piece by J.S. Bach. "Sanctify Us by Thy Goodness" Enjoy!
