These are uncertain times in many ways and for most of us, travel plans are on hold. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t start looking ahead. I’m in the process of planning a trip to Paris next year and thought it might inspire you to plan your own trip.  This post may contain affiliate links…

Pining For Paris

February 5, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I do believe our trip to Paris in 2014 has spoiled me for life. As the old song goes, “How Ya Gonna Keep ’em Down on the Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree?)”. Don’t get me wrong – I do love my life here on “Apple Tree Farm” in rural Oklahoma. But once in awhile I find…

Why I’ll never eat escargot again

September 23, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 10 Comments

I’m not naturally adventurous but in recent years I have pushed myself to try new things. Most of the time I am really glad I put myself out there. I’ve become a Nine Inch Nails fan, learned that I adore raw oysters, met lots of fascinating people and expanded my horizons in so many ways….

We Met Jimmy Page in Paris!

December 16, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Sometimes you just end up in the right place at the right time. On our last day in Paris I wanted to see the Shakespeare and Company bookstore. Several friends who had been to Paris said it was a must-see for a book lover like myself. We walked perhaps a mile from our hotel in…

Paris est magnifique!

November 16, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

One of my favorite college courses was “Art in Life” and I especially enjoyed the architecture portion of the class. When asked what I like about New Orleans, one of the things on my list is the architecture. That’s part of the reason I’ve always wanted to see Paris. I’ve seen the pictures…and have been…

Paris, je t’aime

November 5, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Oh, Paris…how do I begin to share what a glorious time we had? I’ve dreamed of visiting Paris since I was a little girl and David made my dream come true last week. I knew I’d love it but I wasn’t sure about David. He was doing this for me and I knew he’d do…

September 3, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

This past Friday night was one of the best nights of my life. I’m hesitant to even blog about it because there is no way I can do it justice. However, I’m going to give it a whirl. First we went out to dinner with these beautiful people: David and Joy Winchester   Then we…

French Friday – My special day

September 11, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

*UPDATED:  Scroll to the bottom of the post for an important addition.  I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a member of the Yahoo Group, “French Chic”.  In fact, the idea for “French Fridays” came from that group.  Sometimes members will share what they did to make their Fridays special.  Recently, a member of the…
