. Yep. That’s the family circa 1994 or 1995ish. I am not exactly sure which year it was but there we are in all of our glory outside a cottage at one of my favorite places on earth, Lakeside, Ohio. While we have all grown Continue reading →

To Our Sweet Boy

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family/ 34 Comments/ 680

Dearest sweet Theo, Today you turn two and while circumstances kept your Grampa and I from being with you to celebrate, it doesn’t mean that we aren’t wishing we were there. We were so very disappointed and sad when we realized we could not come Continue reading →

Another Year Passes

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family/ 20 Comments/ 741

Happiness with a Side of Remembrance

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family/ 14 Comments/ 628

Sometimes I like to scroll through old blog posts to see what I was blogging about years ago. When you have been at it as long as I have sometimes the ideas are elusive when it comes to writing. At times I might repurpose the Continue reading →

Leisure Time

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 609

Yesterday I shared a few things from some scrapbooks that my Mother kept. It is fun to look at some of these old things and see what was important enough for her to keep. One such thing is this thank you note for a program Continue reading →

More Glimpses of the Past

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 490

I have the privilege of having so many scrapbooks and albums from my parents and every once in awhile I take the time to look through the fragile pages. It gives me the chance to see who they were when they were younger and how Continue reading →

The Good Girl
5 of 5 stars
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...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

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...
