For myself alone…

June 27, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I was pretty nervous about yesterday’s post. I really felt like I needed to write it but I wasn’t sure how it would be accepted. I needn’t have worried, though. The comments I received here, on Facebook and in person were all kind and understanding. I have some pretty amazing readers and I thank each…

Book recommendations?

June 24, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

This doesn’t happen often but I’m having trouble finding a book that really captures my attention. I have a whole list of books I want to read but I’m not really in the mood for any of them. I think I want something kind of light…maybe a bit humorous…set in the South or a small…

I do…

June 23, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

This afternoon David and I attended the wedding of my cousin’s son.

Oklahoma Sky

I took the following pictures as we drove home from Joplin on Monday. We had a bit of rain and then the skies gradually cleared. I was totally blown away by the beauty of our Oklahoma skies.
