Menu Monday ~ February 15, 2016

February 15, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I’m writing this very quickly late Saturday night. David is taking me to the city tomorrow after church and we won’t be back until Monday afternoon.

February 8, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I’m writing this Sunday night after spending all day clearing out, organizing and cleaning our laundry room. I’m too tired to move, let alone think.
