Grandma’s Tea

June 10, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

If you know me at all you no doubt realize that I’m crazy about tea. My grandmother is responsible for this. She gave me my first sips of sweet tea in my bottle at about six months of age thereby curing me of an intestinal illness that had my mother frantic with worry.   Obviously…

In Memory…

April 19, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Today we are in Idaho to honor the memory of David’s mom. I’m so very glad we took the trip here last summer to visit her. These photos from that trip are precious and will be treasured. Rest in peace…you will be missed.

My first Tarot card reading

September 29, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Ever since I decided to be open to new experiences and step outside my comfort zone, I keep being presented with opportunities to do just that. Saturday night a friend hosted a “Tarot Card Soiree” at her home. I’ve never had my cards read before but this seemed like a good opportunity. My friend, Roz,…

Shooting stars and fried green tomatoes

August 14, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

The older I get, the more I treasure those simple, yet special moments. Often, they don’t sound like a big deal but if you truly focus on the experience they begin to weave the tapestry of a life well-lived. Yesterday a dear friend drove from the city – an hour and a half away –…

What I’m Into (July 2015 edition)

August 2, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I haven’t done one of these in ages. Seems like a good time to get back in the habit. Since it’s been so long, I’m going to include a bit from the last of June, too.  Celebrations July, for our family, always begins with our daughter’s birthday. Isn’t she gorgeous? We celebrated the 4th of…

Life is still good in New Orleans

October 28, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Just a quick update: We arrived in New Orleans Friday afternoon and have been going strong ever since. Music, food, and friends…yes, life is still good here. Today we have three music shows to catch – Rhythm and Rain, Debi and the Deacons, and Mark and the Pentones. It’s good to have such talented friends…

Living in community

October 7, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

This morning we celebrated World Communion Sunday at church. The observation began back in 1933 in a Pittsburg Presbyterian church as a celebration of oneness. It was open to other denominations from the start, which is just one of the things I love about Presbyterians – the open, ecumenical practice of faith. It is now…

Memory Lane Monday ~ Uncle Ed

July 23, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I had intended to share some special memories of my Uncle Ed in today’s post but this has been a really difficult day for me and I just can’t do it. Maybe one of these days but not just yet. Instead I’ll just share a few pictures.  This was taken at the Dana Point harbor…

Family

July 8, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This is my view this morning as I sip a cup of Earl Grey. For so many years this has been one of my happy places. I wish I were here under different circumstances but we do what we need to do for the people we love. Please continue to keep my uncle (and those…
