Flying After Covid-19 Pandemic

Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel/ 8 Comments/ 470

Flying after Covid-19 Pandemic is in full force. After I typed that title I wondered if it was accurate. Are we post pandemic? Realistically we probably are not judging from the cases in other countries but for this post I am kind of assuming that Continue reading →

Traveling Along on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 6 Comments/ 384

I have a couple of fun travel related teapots in my collection and it seemed about time to feature this one again on Teapot Tuesday. It was an eBay find ( big surprise) and one that is cute enough to use for display as well. Continue reading →

6 Months Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 819

Last week marked the six month period since my mom passed away. I suspect the 25th of each month will be a monthly reminder for the rest of my life. I have said it many times – grief is unpredictable. A friend shared this on Continue reading →

A Great Irony of Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Writing/ 5 Comments/ 632

I re-found this quote I had posted several years ago on my computer the other day and it made me smile just like it did the first time I discovered it. Why can’t I ever articulate my thoughts quite as effectively as Gordon B. Hinckley Continue reading →

Summer Reads

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 15 Comments/ 473

Every once in a while I like to share what I am reading. Today’s that day and I have to start this post off by saying that I read a lot of different types of books. I get a lot free to read for review Continue reading →

More Than a Bag of Peanuts

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 454

One of the sweet memories I have of growing up includes the simple memory of a tiny bag of peanuts. Now my Daddy didn’t fly on airplanes all that often but on the rare occasion that he did he never forgot his 4 kids at Continue reading →

Mona Lisa on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 13 Comments/ 621

Oh the mysterious smile on Mona Lisa has captured many art lover’s eye over the years since Leonardo da Vinci painted the painting circa 1503.  Who would have ever dreamed that that mysterious and beguiling smile could grace a teapot? This lovely apparently unused teapot was Continue reading →

Memories Framed

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 507

I have shared many memories here on It’s Just Life over the years. One of the things that I have the great fortune of having possession of is a huge tote filled with pictures and documents from my parents. Actually it is two totes and Continue reading →

Bag of Bags

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 392

Who can relate to this picture? It’s a bit ridiculous. I have bags of bags. Multiple bags of bags. I have been trying to clean cupboards up bit by bit and this cupboard in my pantry was out of control. I have so many bags. Continue reading →

Stickwork at Biltmore – Part Two

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
