Sleepless in Happyland

July 23, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I need this sign in my kitchen: We seem to be taking that sentiment to heart around here. Friday evening was the first round of “Ada’s Got Talent”, the big annual fundraiser for Ada Homeless Services (I serve on the board of directors.). We had 43 acts that first night. The talent was incredible and…

Click here for more menu ideas! After the past few busy weeks I’m hopeful that this week will be a little less hectic. I don’t have any meetings or trips out of town until Saturday. This is a good thing as my house certainly needs some attention. Our menu this week utilizes what we have…

Tea and Crumpets

July 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Okay, so I don’t actually have any crumpets. However, a nice cup (or four) of Darjeeling tea while watching Downton Abbey is a rather nice way to spend a Friday afternoon, don’t you agree?

Lisa and I are leaving in just a bit for our monthly shopping/hippie day in Norman so this will be brief. And mostly pictures. Yesterday I delivered Meals On Wheels. I just love doing this and the people on my route this time are simply wonderful. One dear lady lives in a terrific old house….

Here on Apple Tree Farm

July 9, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve got a busy, busy day ahead of me (Meals On Wheels, hair appointment, errands and a meeting of our city’s Multicultural Committee) so I’ll just share a few pictures this morning: My tomato plants are loaded and that makes me happy: I took this Sunday morning while walking Shiloh before church: And this one….

Cruising Main

July 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Last night, despite the ridiculous heat, we took out the Mustang again and joined other classic cars and hot rods in a cruise down Main Street, Ada. It was a special event in coordination with the McSwain Theatre’s showing of “Grease”. Even though it was hotter than bloody blues, it was still fun to cruise…

Summer date night

July 6, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

This was David’s first car. He bought it at age 15 and this is the car we dated in. Before our son turned 16, the two of them rebuilt it. Unfortunately they did such a stellar job that it seemed too nice to drive much. Chris ended up driving our old pickup most of the…
