California Dreaming

August 20, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

We returned from our California trip around 2 a.m. this past Wednesday morning and I’m just about caught up. Oh, who am I kidding? There’s no such thing as “caught up” but I am unpacked.  David, my mom and I flew out Thursday morning at a ridiculously early hour but at least that gave us…

California Trip Update

July 18, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I really appreciate all the prayers and positive thoughts offered up on behalf of my uncle. While his condition remains serious and the ultimate prognosis is poor, I’m happy to report that he is doing much better now than he was when I saw him upon arrival in California a week and a half ago. …

A glimpse of California…

November 25, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It’s late and I’m tired but I realized I still haven’t shared our California pictures yet.  It was a quick trip but there were still some fun moments.  Here is the view from our hotel balcony: David finished up his work early enough on Friday that we decided to take advantage of the fact that…

November 15, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

This past Saturday David and I drove all around where we grew up.  We went by his old house, mine,my grandparents’ and cousins’, the church I attended as as child, his elementary school and many other places from our youth.  While the drive did bring back some memories and a bit of nostalgia, neither of…

California dreaming

November 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I stepped off the plane and immediately noticed that the airport smelled faintly like a swimming pool.  I am one of those weird people who actually likes the smell of bleach so this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.  But there was no music playing, either.  Hey, Toto, we aren’t in New Orleans anymore. Until we…

California, California…

March 27, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I’m now humming the theme song from “The O.C.” after typing this blog post title. I don’t know how we pulled it off but David and I managed to miss winter’s final (I hope) hurrah here in Oklahoma last weekend. While we were enjoying 70+ degree temperatures in Southern California, our fellow-Oklahomans were dealing with…

Guess where we are going…

March 19, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Any guesses? We leave this afternoon for a few days in California to visit friends and family. Of course, no trip to California is complete without a trip to Disneyland. And no trip to Disneyland is complete without our favorite attraction, The Pirates of the Caribbean. I’ll bet you never would have guessed that is…
