The Gift…

October 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

David bought me an absolutely perfect birthday gift last year.  He paid for five massages with the most incredible massage therapist.  Well, I’ve only been to one other so I suppose I can’t say for sure, but I will tell you that I left feeling like a wet noodle after today’s session.  Indiana (isn’t that…

Memory Lane Monday…The Dick Van Dyke Show

October 11, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I absolutely adore this show.  We have several episodes on DVD and I watched this one on Friday.  I thought I’d seen most of the episodes but somehow I’d missed this one.  It’s a fine example of just why this show was popular in its time and yet still remains entertaining for today’s audience.  It…

French Friday – Rest and Restore

October 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

    Thank goodness it’s Friday!  This has been quite a week and I can’t remember the last time I was so incredibly happy to see Friday arrive.   I should vacuum and clean bathrooms and mop the laundry room.  But you know what?  I’m not doing any of those things today.  The bed is…

Guest Post Friday – Curried Chicken Vegetable Soup

October 8, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I love a good soup when the weather gets chilly and I will definitely be giving this one a try! Kim’s Curried Chicken Vegetable Soup By Kim Patrie I make this when I am feeling under the weather. Vegetarians can substitute a can of chickpeas for the chicken. The curry is optional, but when your…

Peace reigns once more…

October 6, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Ahh…hear that?  It’s my favorite sound – the sound of silence.  The roofers are done and David finished the plumbing.  Everyone is gone.  I’m alone.  I would love to curl up with a cup of tea and a book (or take a nap!) but one of the roofers will be back *sometime* to pick up…

Traumatic Tuesday…

October 5, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Okay, so that post title is a little overly dramatic but I currently have eight men on my roof scraping off old shingles.  Perhaps that doesn’t sound like a big deal but for a “Highly Sensitive Person” the noise and vibration can be rather overwhelming.  I just might need to spend some time at the…

Layered Salad…

October 5, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Tonight was our “meatless Thanksgiving-type dinner” that I’ve been planning.  We will temporarily set aside our vegetarianism on Thanksgiving and purchase an organic, humanely-raised turkey but in the meantime, I wanted to have a dinner with the usual Thanksgiving side dishes.  One of my favorites is a layered salad.  My dear friend Nancy gave me…

Memory Lane Monday…Nickelodeon – Old School

October 4, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

This post is dedicated to my “children of the 80s” without whom I would be woefully ignorant of the following: Maya the Bee: The World of David the Gnome: The Adventures of the Little Koala: Eureeka’s Castle: Mr. Wizard’s World: Sharon Lois and Bram’s Elephant Show: When Lisa was an infant I spent an inordinate…
