Tornadoes and flooding and tigers…oh, my!

May 12, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Oklahoma is one heck of a place in the springtime. One minute you can be driving along the highway admiring the dense carpet of wildflowers and the next you are in a deluge dodging tornadoes. Last Wednesday we went to Oklahoma City for the Clutch/Mastodon concert. We were supposed to meet up with musician friends…

A much-needed getaway…

January 28, 2015 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

This past year just about did us in. It was fun in a lot of ways but utterly exhausting. We went out 3 to 5 times a week, every week, in order to support the musicians in our company, Happyland Music Alliance. But now that we’ve made a good start in bringing live music to…

What I’ve been up to lately…

June 6, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I keep thinking I’ll get back to regular blogging and then life just keeps zipping along at a breakneck pace around here. And if I do find a bit of time late at night, our #$@*ing internet has slowed to a crawl…no, less than a crawl. More like a glacial pace. I still need to…

Weekend in the City

March 18, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I just realized I haven’t posted anything since last Monday. I’ll bet you’re thinking that I’ve been so busy actually doing everything I wrote on my schedule that I didn’t have time to blog, right? Well, not exactly. I did quite well on Monday and Tuesday but then I started coming down with a cold. I had…

My birthday weekend

September 4, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

David took me to Oklahoma City and Dallas this past weekend to celebrate my birthday. I feel utterly spoiled. And exhausted. Hey, if you don’t come home tired you aren’t doing it right. Right? Right. We headed to “the city” (that’s Okie-speak for Oklahoma City) Friday afternoon. We didn’t get out of town until 3…

Celebrating the Good Life

August 29, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

This is my birthday week and I’m spreading out the celebration. On Monday we went out to dinner with our kids and three couples we’ve been friends with for ages.  The four kids ate dinner with us and visited for awhile before leaving the “old folks” to our own devices. We ended up chatting at…

Love and the City

July 1, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I often wonder what I ever did to deserve the life I live. This weekend was simply wonderful in every way. David and I had planned to leave Friday morning around 10 but it was more like 11 before we actually got out of town. We spent the drive reminiscing about the early days of…

Starting the New Year off right

January 6, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

We had a most wonderful time ringing in the New Year in our favorite city with some of our favorite people. In fact, we had such a good time that I didn’t even take very many photos.  Our flight left the OKC airport at about 8 a.m. Sunday morning. We are *not* morning people so…

Turning (gasp) 50…

August 29, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Yesterday was my birthday and David took me to Oklahoma City for the weekend to celebrate. We stayed at our city home-away-from-home, the Skirvin. We had hoped to leave around 1 p.m. Friday but that didn’t happen. It was around 5 when we left the house and then we had to wash the car, go…
