Pining For Paris

February 5, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I do believe our trip to Paris in 2014 has spoiled me for life. As the old song goes, “How Ya Gonna Keep ’em Down on the Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree?)”. Don’t get me wrong – I do love my life here on “Apple Tree Farm” in rural Oklahoma. But once in awhile I find…

Paris est magnifique!

November 16, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

One of my favorite college courses was “Art in Life” and I especially enjoyed the architecture portion of the class.
