5 Lessons We Can Learn From Lucy

5 Lessons From Lucy

Ever since I was a little girl, I Love Lucy has been one of my very favorite television shows. I have seen every single episode numerous times and have most of the seasons on DVD (must finish my collection!).  Lucy was hilarious, spontaneous, courageous and so much more. Let’s take a look at a few…

Favorite Houses From Television and the Movies

November 2, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Ever since I can remember, houses have fascinated me. I’ve been binge-watching Gilmore Girls before the new episodes come out and I have fallen in love with Lorelai’s and Rory’s house. That made me think about other television and movie houses I love. So here, in no particular order, are my favorite houses from television…

Summer Television

June 14, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I virtually never watch daytime TV except on some rare occasions in hotel rooms. Each time I am reminded of why I don’t bother at home – there is nothing worth watching. In a way I find that rather sad as I have fond childhood memories of watching morning television during the summer when school…

Pioneer Play and Little House on the Prairie

December 4, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Pioneer Play

Many a summer evening my cousin and I would spend the night at our grandparents’ house. My cousin lived next door, my grandparents right behind us and all three of our yards adjoined. Sue and I would take our baths and after Grandma had gently combed out our long, wet hair, we’d curl up on…

Happy birthday, Lucy!

August 6, 2015 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’ve been a fan of the I Love Lucy show since I was a little girl. Over the years I have seen every single episode numerous times. I’ve been collecting and watching all the episodes on DVD, too. For me, it just never gets old. Happy birthday, Lucille Ball! Follow Deanna Piercy ~’s board I…

Tea and Crumpets

July 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Okay, so I don’t actually have any crumpets. However, a nice cup (or four) of Darjeeling tea while watching Downton Abbey is a rather nice way to spend a Friday afternoon, don’t you agree?

1950s Housewife

June 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 13 Comments

Last week my daughter who blogs at Retrohousewife Goes Green shared a blog with me, Jen But Never Jenn. A couple of years ago Jen had undertaken a two-week experiment of living like a typical 1950s housewife. I spent the better part of two days reading all the entries (she ended up doing a second…

Memory Lane Monday…Leave it to Beaver

October 18, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Barbara Billingsley this past Saturday, October 16th, at the age of 94.  She epitomized the ideal mom of the 50s in her role as June Cleaver on “Leave it to Beaver”.  Her trademark pearls and heels are often joked about but I must admit there’s a…

French Friday – Sort of…

September 25, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

It’s been a lovely day, although I can’t really say there was much of a French theme to it.  A Margarita isn’t French, right?  Oh, I did have two mini croissants for breakfast so that counts.  I had worked really hard yesterday getting all the housework done so I could do something different today.  I…
