June 26, 2015 Brandt and I were flying to New York City to celebrate the 30th anniversary of 42nd Street. We had a connection at Reagan and were on the tarmac ready to take off when the pilot announced traffic was halted as often happens in DC. I turned my phone back on, opened Facebook…

Christmas…Grandmaw and Auntie
Grandmaw….When I came along Martha America Mayo Pierce was seventy years old. She lost two children in at birth but raised two daughters and six sons. She sent three sons to World War II and suffered through only two coming home. The remains of Lawrence Candler Pierce lie somewhere in Normandy as a result of…
Where it all Began…
Well, September 25, 1959 is WHEN it began and this photo is December of 1959. From the expression on Dad’s face I suppose one might surmise I was a much loved Christmas present. I loved him back for the next almost 40 years. Where my story began and the foundation for TimMagic was laid was…
09.25.1959
Now, where were we? It seems it’s been birth month starting with a FABULOUS dinner by Kirk Whiteside in Helena, AR. Well, actually…I suppose it started 63 years ago with Quindel and Fay. So many people prefer to ignore birthdays but it’s my favorite time of year. You know, if we stop having birthdays…The End!…
Fall, Food, Friends
I have no Italian blood that I know of. However, the Italian culture is very much a part of who I’ve become. I love Sunday Suppers. The Italian mothers cook all day Sunday and the family comes over to enjoy her labor of love. Sunday night just seems like the perfect time to celebrate the…

Staycation…
Since May I’ve traveled to eight cities in seven states and from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Smoky Mountains. We thought about several travel options for the holiday weekend but ended up at our lovely loft in downtown Memphis…which we seldom see anymore. The farm in Byhalia is becoming more and more like home….
It’s not done…
’til it’s OVERDONE!!! I’ve been back to East Tennessee to do an event with my dear friend. The event was called “Festival of Tables” and it was the first time the organization had done an event of this type. Tables were assigned to a designer and a hostess and tickets were sold to come view…
Scenes of Summer
When last we spoke it was the Fourth of July and we were in East Tennessee. I can’t believe I’ve been away from you so long. Moreover, I get tired thinking about what I’ve done in between posts. I didn’t realize I was so busy until I was telling a friend why I couldn’t take…
This Solitary Life
I know two weeks is too long to be away. I feel certain you have been sitting staring at your monitor the whole time. Now, you have to clear your schedule because this will be the longest post in history. However, you’re about to see my life in a two-week retrospective. I’ll begin with the…
