This weekend I kicked off my Spring Cleaning 2013. I began in the parlor. I put away records that had been sitting out since Christmas, I sorted through all of my music, I organized items in the piano bench.
Then I went to the corner next to the organ where I keep most of my instrument cases tucked away.
One-two-three-four-five-six-seven. (Plus the two in the upstairs hall closet.)
Nine.
Nine cases.
I counted the instruments (excluding the piano, organ, and xylophone).
One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight.
Eight.
I counted and recounted again. Every time I had one more case than I did instruments.
Ha ha! How does that happen?
