Happy Thanksgiving!

I had hoped to share some Thanksgiving recipes but life has been nuts and our internet was down most of today due to ice.  However, anytime is a good time for delicious food so I’ll share some recipes tomorrow.  In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving!

A glimpse of California…

Buy Nothing Challenge…

November 21, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S., is known as Black Friday.  It has become a frenzied day of ultra-consumerism kicking off the holiday season.  But you know what?  You can opt out.  Instead of battling the crazy hoards of shoppers, I plan to spend the day relaxing with my family.  I…

We had just been seated at the restaurant when David got a call from our friend, Debi asking where we were.  David told her and she said we needed to get ourselves down to Tropical Isle immediately.  A couple of the guys from Rain were in the bar!  Rain is the famous Beatles tribute band…

French Quarter Friday…

November 19, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I will eventually be returning to my usual “French Friday” posts but since I still have pictures to share from New Orleans I thought I’d make this “French Quarter Friday”. The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson square is probably the most photographed and easily recognized landmark in New Orleans.  Isn’t it pretty? One of our…

I know, I know.  I promised stories and pictures of our recent trip to New Orleans.  And I do intend to follow through but life has been nuts.  Two days after returning from NOLA we zipped off to California for five days.  David had to go on business and took me along.  And if that…
