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:…

Weekend fun

July 30, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

David and I long ago made a deliberate decision to have more fun. And for us, music is always a good way to do just that. Very little makes us happier than the opportunity to experience live music. That’s one of the reasons we love New Orleans so much. We kicked off the weekend by…

It was a whirlwind of a trip. Yeah, I know, ten days sounds like a long trip but it went by in a flash of friends, food and frolic. I didn’t even take very many pictures this time but here are some of them: I had been craving raw oysters since my trip with Roz…

We had just been seated at the restaurant when David got a call from our friend, Debi asking where we were.  David told her and she said we needed to get ourselves down to Tropical Isle immediately.  A couple of the guys from Rain were in the bar!  Rain is the famous Beatles tribute band…
