Snow Day

February 23, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

A week ago it was 80 degrees and our daffodils started blooming. But this is Oklahoma and the only thing you can count on about the weather is that it will change. Around noon today we had this: And a couple of hours later: We are supposed to get more tonight and into tomorrow. All…

When I look back…

May 22, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

While looking for something on my old PC this evening I got caught up in some old emails I had saved. Way back in 2006 a number of us on a Yahoo email list wrote on the topic, “Someday when I look back upon my life…”. This is what I wrote: When I look back…

Tea With Dee…(that’s me!)

A few weeks ago, Tori of Torizworld, blogged about the annual Mad Tea Party at A Fanciful Twist. I took a look at some of the past parties and they were absolutely delightful. I would have loved to join in this year but we are headed to Oklahoma City in just a bit for the…
