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…

Just soak awhile…

January 24, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

When I was a little girl I could walk out my backdoor, quick-step barefoot across the hot desert sand and visit my grandparents who lived around the corner from us. A row of cypress trees separated our yards, a gap in the trees providing a shady spot to cool my feet before running the rest…

Sweet Tea and Saltines ~ Childhood Memories From a Simpler Time

The summers of my childhood were a gentle time of long, sunny days spent playing with my cousins and brothers. My cousin and best friend in the whole wide world lived next door.

May 13, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

My friend, Leanne, wrote a moving tribute to her mother in honor of Mother’s Day. Sadly, her mother is no longer living and I’ll bet Leanne wishes she could have shared her “Gifts for my Mom” post before she died. Her post inspired me to write one of my own and since I’m fortunate enough…

Remembering…

October 13, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Today would have been my grandmother’s 97th birthday.  She passed away almost a year ago and if anything, I miss her more as time goes by.  A couple of weeks ago I was in an antique store and found myself in tears while looking at household objects which reminded me of her.  She was such…
