Christmas Past

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Holiday/ 14 Comments/ 431

A repost but one that makes me smile every time I see the pictures. Enjoy. I am feeling nostalgic today and perhaps it is the upcoming holiday season that is prompting that feeling. Whatever it is I had a little trip down memory lane as Continue reading →

Family

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 24 Comments/ 518

Family is important. Being the youngest of 4 siblings I realize just how important it is to have good strong relationships with siblings. One gift our parents gave us was the gift of strong family ties. It’s been a little odd the past month. For Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories/ 22 Comments/ 469

I know I brag on my family all of the time but it is a pretty amazing group of people that share some of the same DNA. I do not take this lightly or for granted as I know that not all families have the Continue reading →

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...
