31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 21 – Taking a break

October 23, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

When I started this series I hadn’t really considered the fact that we would be leaving for New Orleans on the 25th. And then I had this notion that I could write extra posts and schedule them to post each day while I’m gone. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men……

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 20 – Rocking the Porch Time

October 21, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

David is away on a business trip and I miss him terribly. However, I’m learning to make the best of these times. The weather is absolutely perfect tonight so I spent the evening on the porch, hanging out with Shiloh and watching our dear friends, Debi and the Deacons, performing in New Orleans via webcam….

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 19 – Playing Games

October 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Back when David and I were dating…when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we listened to 8-tracks in our Mustangs…we spent a lot of weekends at his mom’s house at the beach in San Clemente. His sister was living there at the time and most evenings we would all play Scrabble while drinking a concoction they…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 18 – Autumn Crafting

October 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’ve done a tiny bit of knitting. Just enough to know that I want to try crochet instead. Ha! It wasn’t hard but I’d like to try something that will go a little faster. I don’t have big plans for this craft but mainly want something to do while watching tv in the evenings with…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 17 – Tea Time

October 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It should come as no surprise, considering the name of this blog, that I adore tea. My grandma started me on it as an infant (I’m not kidding) and I’ve loved it ever since. I like iced tea, both sweet and unsweet. And I especially love a properly made cup of hot tea. Earl Grey,…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 15 – Bubble Baths

October 19, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

As the temperature drops I like to warm up with a hot bubble bath, especially at bedtime. We have extremely hard water which builds up quickly in the tub/shower. I’ve not done a very good job keeping up with it this summer but soon I’ll want to take bubble baths so it’s time to do…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 15 – Skeletons In My Closet

October 18, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I was a little embarrassed to show you what my exercise room looked like yesterday but I figured my readers would have one of two reactions. Either you’d look at it and think, “Yay! I’m not the only one” and feel better about yourself. Or “I’d never let a room get like that” and again,…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 14 – The Exercise Room

October 17, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I finally tackled a long-postponed task today. Our exercise room has been a dumping ground ever since our Happyland Music Festival back in May. Actually, that’s not entirely true. I *did* have it sort of straightened up at one time – at least enough that I could get in there to use the exercise equipment….

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 13 – Pumpkins and Friends

October 17, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I bought some little pumpkins at Whole Foods recently. Don’t they make a nice addition to the autumn decor on our entry table? And just because they are adorable: Shiloh with his best buddy, Steinbeck
