December 31, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve been in absentia largely due to a stupid asthma attack which has lingered the past two weeks. There was also a pretty impressive case of hives one night, too. But I’m not letting that keep me down. We went out with friends last night and we are getting ready to paint the town tonight….

It was a whirlwind of a trip. Yeah, I know, ten days sounds like a long trip but it went by in a flash of friends, food and frolic. I didn’t even take very many pictures this time but here are some of them: I had been craving raw oysters since my trip with Roz…

It’s a Wonderful Life

December 14, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

My favorite Christmas movie is the classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Ever since the kids were very young we have had a tradition of watching it together as soon as we get the tree up. It’s one of my very favorite things we do as a family. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned on Facebook…
