16 Free or Low Cost Things to Do in New Orleans

Travel can be expensive but sometimes the most enjoyable activities are free or nearly so. We have been going to New Orleans ever since our honeymoon in 1981 and I can honestly say that our favorite things to do there are free or low cost. Well, except eating. đŸ˜‰ Dee’s Favorite Free or Low Cost…

My birthday isn’t until Thursday but David and I did our usual “weekend at the Skirvin” celebration this past weekend. We went up Friday evening after David got off work, stopping in Norman for dinner at Panera Bread so we could also buy cherry danish pastries to take with us. Because…CHERRY DANISH PASTRY!  After we…

Back from New Orleans, still recovering…

April 27, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

We got back from New Orleans late last Tuesday. We just couldn’t tear ourselves away and ended up staying rather late Monday night. We only went as far as Baton Rouge that night so Tuesday was a fairly long day. I then drove to the city Wednesday because my dad was having a procedure done…

Paris, je t’aime

November 5, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Oh, Paris…how do I begin to share what a glorious time we had? I’ve dreamed of visiting Paris since I was a little girl and David made my dream come true last week. I knew I’d love it but I wasn’t sure about David. He was doing this for me and I knew he’d do…

Keeping busy

October 3, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

First, how about an “Autumn on Apple Tree Farm” picture? I took this while walking Shiloh this morning: So, what have we been up to the past several days? Well, it hasn’t been sleeping, that’s for certain. This past Thursday we went to see Mary Poppins at the McSwain Theater here in town (they show…

California Dreaming

August 20, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

We returned from our California trip around 2 a.m. this past Wednesday morning and I’m just about caught up. Oh, who am I kidding? There’s no such thing as “caught up” but I am unpacked.  David, my mom and I flew out Thursday morning at a ridiculously early hour but at least that gave us…

What I’m Into (June 2013 Edition)

July 3, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve seen several people doing these “What I’m Into” posts recently. I’ve really enjoyed reading them so I decided I’d do it, too. Here goes: Around My Home Early in June David rented three levels of scaffolding and replaced the siding on the peak on the front of our house. This is a project he’s…

Adventures in Austin

March 1, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Have you ever had one of those weekends that was almost too fun to talk about rationally? Well, our trip to Austin last weekend was one of those. Train travel, a nice hotel, live music, great friends and a beard competition – what could be better? I think I’ll let the pictures do most of…

Dreaming of Paris

  I just celebrated my 48th birthday and decided that I’m going to start planning for a 50th birthday trip to Paris.  This is something I’ve always wanted to do and what better time?  I pulled out an old calendar, cut out a picture of the Eiffel Tower and slipped it inside the cover of…
