Famous piano player

Good morning Atticus,

A famous man named Liberace who played the piano used to live in Palm Springs, He used to have a swimming pool the shape of a piano,,,,and here is a picture of his mailbox.
Your parents said that you want to continue taking piano lessons then switch to drums and bass in the 5th grade. I would like that too. Maybe you could play the drums in the marching band at football games!

You will need to practice during the week, but that should be fun as you get better and better,

We are having lots of fun with Grammy and Grandpa. We drive home on Saturday...about as far as Disneyland. In the meantime, you will need to do the heavy chores while both your parents are injured. I am so proud of you, love, Grandma
