What I’m Into (July 2015 edition)

August 2, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I haven’t done one of these in ages. Seems like a good time to get back in the habit. Since it’s been so long, I’m going to include a bit from the last of June, too. 


Celebrations

  • July, for our family, always begins with our daughter’s birthday. Isn’t she gorgeous?

  • We celebrated the 4th of July at the home of our niece, Leslie, and her boyfriend, Will. 

  • Chris hosted a going away party for his friend, Eli, who is moving to Baton Rouge to attend LSU. We had about 25-30 people here for a campout, music and karoke.
The last weekend of June we attended a wedding in Tulsa then spent the weekend there celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary which was the weekend before. 

Around My Home


We’ve been busy but still made time for several nights of stargazing. Last night we took the telescope outside and looked at the blue moon. Shiloh likes to join us for these quiet evenings under the stars.



Reading

The House on First Street: My New Orleans Story  by Julia Reed

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing  by Marie Kondo

Watching – Movies and T.V.

  • T.V. –

 I bought the first two seasons of The Donna Reed Show for a little old-fashioned entertainment for myself but it turns out that David loves the show, too. Just so long as he doesn’t expect me to start wearing heels and pearls around the house! 

We are also enjoying The Astronaut Wives Club. The history is interesting, of course, but I’m also loving the fashions and home decor. 

  • Movies – 

The kids took David to see the new Terminator movie to celebrate Father’s Day. Absolutely not my thing so I watched Magic Mike XXL instead. 

Last night we watched My Old Lady on Netflix. We both really enjoyed it.

Listening – Music and Podcasts

Our city has been hosting “Music in the Park” several Sunday evenings throughout the summer. I was asked to schedule the musicians. So far we’ve been able to attend two of these and really enjoyed them. 
Food – Recipes, Restaurants and Grocery Hauls
  • While in Tulsa we looked for a sports bar where we could watch Women’s World Cup. We found Fat Daddy’s where I also had one of the best Reuben sandwiches I’ve ever had, as well as delicious onion rings. 
I don’t have any recipes or grocery hauls to share this time but I will next month. Promise!

Out and About – Trips and Events

  • While in Tulsa we enjoyed a show by Let’s Zeppelin, a tribute band. 
  • We saw Our Mother’s Martyr perform in OKC:
  • We took a Trip to Idaho to visit David’s mother.

Special Moments

  • I had the honor of meeting this Choctaw man:
  • Karoke in my backyard:

I think that about wraps things up for July. If you write “What I’m Into” posts I’d love for you to leave me a link in the comments so I can read yours. I’m linking up with What I’m Into on Leigh Kramer’s site.
