Happy birthday, Lucy!

August 6, 2015 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’ve been a fan of the I Love Lucy show since I was a little girl. Over the years I have seen every single episode numerous times. I’ve been collecting and watching all the episodes on DVD, too. For me, it just never gets old. Happy birthday, Lucille Ball! Follow Deanna Piercy ~’s board I…

Tea, Tissues and I Love Lucy

June 11, 2015 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This is what my week has consisted of: I thought I had successfully fought off the virus which kept taunting me last week but then it pulled a fast one and clobbered me Sunday night. I’ve spent the past few days blowing my nose, coughing, drinking tea and watching I Love Lucy. So far I…

One look at my kitchen and you won’t be surprised to learn that I do indeed “love Lucy”. And not just Lucy, but the style of the 1950s in general. The clothes, the cars and of course, the kitchens!   This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying…

1950s Housewife

June 7, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 13 Comments

Last week my daughter who blogs at Retrohousewife Goes Green shared a blog with me, Jen But Never Jenn. A couple of years ago Jen had undertaken a two-week experiment of living like a typical 1950s housewife. I spent the better part of two days reading all the entries (she ended up doing a second…

Happy birthday, Lucille Ball!

I Love Lucy

January 5, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m trying to spend some time on the treadmill each day and this is what made the time go by quickly tonight: I have the first couple of seasons of I Love Lucy on dvd so I’m going to work my way through each episode, which I’ve already seen dozens of times each, while on…

Memory Lane Monday…I Love Lucy

May 17, 2010 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This past Friday, inspired by some reminiscing by my kids, I posted on Facebook several clips from television programs I watched as a child. I must have had well over 50 responses and comments from friends who enjoyed the little trip down Memory Lane. I’ve been doing Menu Plan Mondays on my Dee’s Kitchen blog,…
