French Friday…Parlez-Vous Français?

August 14, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

For as long as I can remember I have loved the sound of the French language.  Because of that, and because I’ve long nurtured a dream of going to Paris, I ignored everyone who told me to take Spanish (I grew up in Southern California so that would seem to be a reasonable suggestion) and…

So, what do you want to know?

August 10, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I’m driving my parents to the city today for my dad’s doctor appointment.  My brain is still rather fried and my emotions raw with grief so I thought this would be a good opportunity to put the ball in your court.  I’ve noticed that some of my favorite bloggers occasionally do a post in which…
