Take Another Deep Breath

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 385

If anyone noticed I was away from the blog a bit last week. I just could not settle down to write posts when our area continued to be in chaos due to Hurricane Helene. Then Milton came and did so much more damage in Florida. Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 454

Hope After Helene

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 590

Oh Helene…

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 610

Chris and I just got home from our extended vacation and our trip home from Chincoteaque, Virginia was longer than anticipated but we made it home. Thanks to torrential rain about 2 hours from home, our trip was slower than hoped and of course we Continue reading →

We Ain’t Got Moxy

Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel/ 7 Comments/ 533

It all started off badly with an elevator in the parking garage that did not work. We schlepped our suitcases down from the 5th level. Fortunately we only had one small suitcase each and a backpack or briefcase but whew. It was a workout. We Continue reading →

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
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...
