Father’s Day and Family Time

June 16, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

What a lovely day it’s been. Last night we attended a birthday party for one of our musicians at Vintage 22 and didn’t get home until nearly 3 a.m. so today got off to a late start. I had to make a quick trip to the store for a few ingredients and then we had…

June 6, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I keep thinking I’ll get back to regular blogging and then life just keeps zipping along at a breakneck pace around here. And if I do find a bit of time late at night, our #$@*ing internet has slowed to a crawl…no, less than a crawl. More like a glacial pace. I still need to…

When I look back…

May 22, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

While looking for something on my old PC this evening I got caught up in some old emails I had saved. Way back in 2006 a number of us on a Yahoo email list wrote on the topic, “Someday when I look back upon my life…”. This is what I wrote: When I look back…
