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.

David and I got home from New Orleans around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning and then he left Wednesday morning for a business meeting in Houston. He got home yesterday afternoon. We are both still in recovery mode although I do pretty much have the house back in shape. There were a couple of parties here…
