Recipe Review…

October 14, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Just a quick post to say that I made Kim’s Curried Soup tonight and it was quite good.  I made the vegetarian version with chickpeas.  In addition to the vegetables called for in the recipe, I also included some diced red bell pepper.  Instead of kale, I used fresh spinach and I also added a…

Remembering…

October 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Today would have been my grandmother’s 97th birthday.  She passed away almost a year ago and if anything, I miss her more as time goes by.  A couple of weeks ago I was in an antique store and found myself in tears while looking at household objects which reminded me of her.  She was such…

The Gift…

October 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

David bought me an absolutely perfect birthday gift last year.  He paid for five massages with the most incredible massage therapist.  Well, I’ve only been to one other so I suppose I can’t say for sure, but I will tell you that I left feeling like a wet noodle after today’s session.  Indiana (isn’t that…

Memory Lane Monday…The Dick Van Dyke Show

October 11, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I absolutely adore this show.  We have several episodes on DVD and I watched this one on Friday.  I thought I’d seen most of the episodes but somehow I’d missed this one.  It’s a fine example of just why this show was popular in its time and yet still remains entertaining for today’s audience.  It…

French Friday – Rest and Restore

October 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

    Thank goodness it’s Friday!  This has been quite a week and I can’t remember the last time I was so incredibly happy to see Friday arrive.   I should vacuum and clean bathrooms and mop the laundry room.  But you know what?  I’m not doing any of those things today.  The bed is…

Guest Post Friday – Curried Chicken Vegetable Soup

October 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I love a good soup when the weather gets chilly and I will definitely be giving this one a try! Kim’s Curried Chicken Vegetable Soup By Kim Patrie I make this when I am feeling under the weather. Vegetarians can substitute a can of chickpeas for the chicken. The curry is optional, but when your…

Peace reigns once more…

October 6, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Ahh…hear that?  It’s my favorite sound – the sound of silence.  The roofers are done and David finished the plumbing.  Everyone is gone.  I’m alone.  I would love to curl up with a cup of tea and a book (or take a nap!) but one of the roofers will be back *sometime* to pick up…

Traumatic Tuesday…

October 5, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Okay, so that post title is a little overly dramatic but I currently have eight men on my roof scraping off old shingles.  Perhaps that doesn’t sound like a big deal but for a “Highly Sensitive Person” the noise and vibration can be rather overwhelming.  I just might need to spend some time at the…
