Portable Piano
The piano is in the trailer and ready for transport to Milwaukee. My parents were very gracious and let us use their truck and trailer for transporting the piano. Melissa started playing this song in the trailer and I thought it was so funny – had to record it 😀 On another note… we…

Pictures of Port Au Prince
