Memorial Day weekend at Happyland

May 25, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Happyland Music Fest ’11 In just a few short hours the 5th annual Happyland Music Fest will kick off in our backyard. Tents will be erected, burgers will be grilled and music will fill the air. (I am just hoping all our neighbors have decided to go to the lake for the weekend.) What started…

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…

I missed it again…

May 21, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I had meant to post something about my blogoversary this year but as usual, I let the day slip by unnoticed. And I even have one of those “Blogoversary in ___ days” widgets on my blog. Oh, well. May 5th marked the 6th anniversary for Tea With Dee. In those 6 years I’ve written 887…

In which I embrace my inner crazy cat lady

May 18, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Just a wee glimpse into our life here on Apple Tree Farm. First up, a close-up of our sweet Shiloh’s precious face. He looks rather serious here: But he usually looks like he’s smiling: That last one was of him in all his furry glory, just after having the pins and external fixator removed from…

I have a wonderful family…

May 14, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I had such a nice Mother’s Day. First of all, David and I spent about 3 hours at my folks’ house Saturday night when we took my mom her Mother’s Day gifts. Sunday morning we went to church then met my parents and the kids for lunch. I had a nice long nap that afternoon…

For my mom on Mother’s Day

May 13, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

My friend, Leanne, wrote a moving tribute to her mother in honor of Mother’s Day. Sadly, her mother is no longer living and I’ll bet Leanne wishes she could have shared her “Gifts for my Mom” post before she died. Her post inspired me to write one of my own and since I’m fortunate enough…

The pleasures of the porch

May 8, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

It only took 14 years of living here but I’ve finally discovered the “pleasures of the porch”. We have a large, shady front porch but for some reason we’ve never fully appreciated and enjoyed it. I’m not entirely sure why although Oklahoma weather extremes and bugs certainly play a role. David is a mosquito magnet…
