Or perhaps I should say it’s my “blogoversary”.  Five years ago today I wrote my first post on Tea With Dee. Actually, this blog had a different name originally.  It was “Ponderings of a Packrat” and my plan was to “chronicle my attempts to sift through a lifetime of accumulated *stuff* and hopefully make some…

The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square is not only the oldest continuously operating Catholic cathedral in the country, it is also the most photographed building in New Orleans.  No matter how many times I visit this beautiful city I cannot resist taking a few more pictures of this gorgeous cathedral.  Easter Sunday morning Gazing…

City sights

April 30, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

New Orleans has to be one of the most beautiful and interesting cities to photograph.  Most of the pictures I took on this last trip were with my iPhone, many with the Instagram app.  These look pretty cool and it’s easy to upload them to Facebook so friends can live vicariously through our adventures. However,…

Call me a hopeless romantic but I love a good wedding. It’s been nearly 30 years since I got up in the wee hours of the morning to watch this: As a new bride myself I was totally caught up in the excitement of the royal wedding of Charles and Diana. A few months later…

I was 17 years old and he was 18.  Oh, we were so young.  And so in love.  He had already asked my dad for my hand in marriage, a mere formality as our plans were no secret.  After all, we had been dating seriously since shortly after my 14th birthday.  He drove me to…
