HMF is going to the dogs

June 5, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Not only do people enjoy Happyland Music Fest (HMF) but the dogs have a great time, too.  This is Herman and this was his second year at HMF. (I wish I had taken one with a human next to him for size comparison. He is HUGE!)  Calla is a veteran. She’s attended all five HMFs….

Happyland Music Fest – Part I

June 1, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….

Happyland Music Fest aftermath or “How to clean a messy kitchen”

May 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

The 5th annual Happyland Music Fest was a smashing success. Somewhere around 100 people danced, frolicked, listened to music, camped and ate here over the weekend. We all had a fantastic time. And then I took a look at my kitchen. Oh, my. Pictures really don’t capture the enormity of the situation but take a…

May 28, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

The fifth annual Happyland Music Fest was a rousing success. There will be pictures and stories to come but we still have a LOT of cleanup to do today. And there will most definitely be a nap on the agenda. We slept about 6 hours total on Friday and Saturday nights. We *might* be just…

Love and Culinary Bravery – a guest post

May 25, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Love and Culinary Bravery by Christine Achille I have always been in awe of people who can come home, having no idea what to make for dinner, look through their cabinets and whip up a fabulous meal out of whatever they find. This is baffling to me, this ability to just find random ingredients and put it…
