Let the organizing begin!

January 7, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

This is one of the closets in our exercise room. I store all our gift wrapping supplies, boxes and extra gifts here (the top shelf has the satellite box and some of David’s stuff that I don’t mess with). It was all neat and organized at one time but over the past year has drifted…

Sense of Accomplishment

July 10, 2006 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Ah, the joy of a task completed…and one that is visible to others! I have worked off and on all day cleaning the patio which adjoins the flower bed I weeded and mulched earlier. It has been quite hot today so I have had to take it in spurts but it’s done! Lots of leaves…

Monday Maintenance

July 10, 2006 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments
