I received my first check for a freelance writing assignment this week and I’m just a wee bit excited about it. I’ve had things published in the past but this was the first time I got paid for it. I guess that means I really can call myself a writer. Right? Right.  Here’s a picture…

Just because…

David brought these gorgeous flowers home to me a couple of days ago. Just because. They were specially arranged for me by a sweet friend who works at the local florist shop. Aren’t those peonies spectacular? And then yesterday my mom bought me some stargazer lilies. Just because.  I’m a fortunate girl.

Grocery Haul – July 2014

July 20, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Lisa and I did our July grocery shopping this past Wednesday and we couldn’t have picked a better day weather-wise. We had a few sprinkles early in the day but otherwise it was just cloudy and in the low-mid 60s. No, I’m not kidding – SIXTIES! – in July! I don’t know what has gotten…
