A Glimpse of New Orleans

November 19, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

We’ve been back from New Orleans for two full weeks and I’m just now getting around to sharing a few photos. I’m still dealing with the asthma attack I came home with and we still have one suitcase left to unpack. Yeah, re-entry sucks.  But the trip was well worth it. The weather was glorious:…

What I’m Into (October 2013 Edition)

November 6, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

 Autumn on Apple Tree Farm I’m rather late with this but we just returned from our New Orleans trip late Monday night and I’m still recovering. David and I both started with some mild cold symptoms on our way home. So far we’ve kept the crud at bay with regular doses of “The Potion” (I’ll…

Life is still good in New Orleans

October 28, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Just a quick update: We arrived in New Orleans Friday afternoon and have been going strong ever since. Music, food, and friends…yes, life is still good here. Today we have three music shows to catch – Rhythm and Rain, Debi and the Deacons, and Mark and the Pentones. It’s good to have such talented friends…

Shop ’til you drop

October 23, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I just realized I haven’t posted anything here since last Friday. Last week was rather busy with three meetings, a piano lesson and choir rehearsal – as well as the usual stuff around the house. We went out both Friday and Saturday nights and then I went to the mall in Norman on Sunday. I…

New Orleans is…

August 29, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Eight years ago today the world watched New Orleans drown and thus began the “should it be rebuilt” refrain. Fortunately the people of New Orleans don’t much care what others think so they doggedly set about putting their city back together, one house, one restaurant, one bar at a time. Those who call New Orleans…

The Big Easy…in miniature

June 5, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Today is David’s birthday and we’ve got a bunch of friends coming over in a little over an hour. We still have to eat dinner and I need to get the cherry pies in the oven (I’ve already got the pie crusts made). That means this is a good day to share this video I’ve…

Pirates and Wenches

April 30, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’m still processing and recovering from our trip to New Orleans but I just had to share a few pirate pictures. I can honestly say these are some of the best people on the planet. Even if they are a bit crazy. Or maybe because of it. But truly, I cannot imagine a better group…

Dental woes

April 25, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I survived my dental appointment yesterday but it was only the beginning. Because I already had a large filling in the tooth that broke I will most likely need a crown. My dentist filled in the rough spot temporarily (no Novocaine needed – yay!) because it was irritating my tongue and I go back next…
