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…

Two Days in London

December 31, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I still have so much to share from our Paris trip and I fully intend to finish this series within a couple of weeks of the start of 2015. For now, how about a quick post about our little excursion to London?  David had the brilliant idea that we should take advantage of proximity and…

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…

Tea Making Tips

January 30, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Do you know how to brew a proper cup of tea? No? Well, have I got a treat for you: I just love these old instructional videos. Oftentimes they are unintentionally funny. And I love the way they give us a little glimpse of another time. Leave it to the British to make sure that…

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 27

November 28, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I think we all know how I feel about tea. Never a day goes by that I don’t have at least one cup. But as the temperature drops my intake goes up. Today Lisa and I went swimming at the gym and warmed up really well in the sauna before we left. This lasted only…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 17 – Tea Time

October 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

It should come as no surprise, considering the name of this blog, that I adore tea. My grandma started me on it as an infant (I’m not kidding) and I’ve loved it ever since. I like iced tea, both sweet and unsweet. And I especially love a properly made cup of hot tea. Earl Grey,…

Tea With Dee…(that’s me!)

July 28, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

A few weeks ago, Tori of Torizworld, blogged about the annual Mad Tea Party at A Fanciful Twist. I took a look at some of the past parties and they were absolutely delightful. I would have loved to join in this year but we are headed to Oklahoma City in just a bit for the…

Tea and Crumpets

July 20, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

Okay, so I don’t actually have any crumpets. However, a nice cup (or four) of Darjeeling tea while watching Downton Abbey is a rather nice way to spend a Friday afternoon, don’t you agree?
