18 Things I Want

August 9, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I read this post on Thought Catalog yesterday and of course I had to make my own list. Disregarding the obvious things such as world peace, an end to poverty and hunger, health and happiness for all, here is my off-the-top-of-the-head list: a nap someone to bring me a cup of tea and a homemade…

What’s a little stupidity amongst friends?

August 6, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

Have you ever done something so utterly stupid that you hope no one finds out about it? Okay, we can probably all say yes to that one. But have you then proceeded to share it publicly? I didn’t even want to admit it to David but once I did I figured, what the heck, might…

Breaking Free

August 2, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 9 Comments

Sometimes I have to let a blog post topic brew awhile before I can actually write it. This is one of those posts. I’ve actually had this one in draft with a few notes for quite awhile, waiting until I had let my thoughts percolate and drip through the filter of my mind. Okay, so…

Weekend fun

July 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

David and I long ago made a deliberate decision to have more fun. And for us, music is always a good way to do just that. Very little makes us happier than the opportunity to experience live music. That’s one of the reasons we love New Orleans so much. We kicked off the weekend by…

Good job, London!

I always enjoy the spectacle of the opening ceremonies and this one did not disappoint. Well done!

Sleepless in Happyland

July 23, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I need this sign in my kitchen: We seem to be taking that sentiment to heart around here. Friday evening was the first round of “Ada’s Got Talent”, the big annual fundraiser for Ada Homeless Services (I serve on the board of directors.). We had 43 acts that first night. The talent was incredible and…

In lieu of real content…

Lisa and I are leaving in just a bit for our monthly shopping/hippie day in Norman so this will be brief. And mostly pictures. Yesterday I delivered Meals On Wheels. I just love doing this and the people on my route this time are simply wonderful. One dear lady lives in a terrific old house….

Cruising Main

July 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Last night, despite the ridiculous heat, we took out the Mustang again and joined other classic cars and hot rods in a cruise down Main Street, Ada. It was a special event in coordination with the McSwain Theatre’s showing of “Grease”. Even though it was hotter than bloody blues, it was still fun to cruise…

Summer date night

July 6, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

This was David’s first car. He bought it at age 15 and this is the car we dated in. Before our son turned 16, the two of them rebuilt it. Unfortunately they did such a stellar job that it seemed too nice to drive much. Chris ended up driving our old pickup most of the…
