Dee’s Excellent Adventure

May 7, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I’m not entirely certain what possessed me. It wasn’t boredom – I’m not sure I’ve ever been truly bored in my whole life. I wasn’t upset and running away from anything. I’m alone a lot so it wasn’t the need for space or privacy. Perhaps I needed to do something unexpected…unpredictable. Something that was just…

The Gifts of Friendship

May 6, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Sometimes I get discouraged by the actions of certain folks but then I’m reminded of the many wonderful friends I have and how much they care about and appreciate me. I think the good Lord knew I needed a few of those reminders recently and I’ve been overwhelmed by the love and generosity of friends…

Shrimp étouffée

May 3, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I think I’m missing Louisiana food. Tonight I’ve got smothered pork chops cooking to serve over rice, cabbage cooked with bacon and onions, and a squash casserole. Last night I set out to make vegetable soup and somehow ended up making gumbo instead. And then last Friday I made shrimp étouffée.  It was my first time…

Swamp People on nitrous

May 3, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I had been dreading it. I took an extra blood pressure pill. I meditated in the waiting room. I asked if could listen to music during the procedure. I accepted the offer of nitrous. And then I proceeded to watch Swamp People on the ceiling and listen to Van Morrison via earbud in my left…

Getting crowned

Shiloh’s summer haircut

May 1, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

I asked…no, I begged…for just a nice trim. David told the groomer to leave it about an inch long. This is  the result: The groomer apologized profusely when David picked him up. Apparently, while his outer coat was fine, the dense, inner coat was simply too difficult to comb out. She gave David $30 off…
