I love it when good things happen to good people.  With so much negativity in the world and with all of the sadness it is wonderful to be able to celebrate the good things.  This post without a doubt belongs in my Noteworthy Women series. Continue reading →

My People Necklaces – The Perfect Gift

Beth Ann Chiles/ Friends, Products/ 28 Comments/ 509

50 Years Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Friends, Travel/ 20 Comments/ 571

Friendships sometimes come and go. People change and move on and sometimes those moves are physical moves as well. Growing up I moved a little bit due to the fact that my dad was a United Methodist pastor. When I was 2 months old until Continue reading →

An Unmarked Grave

Beth Ann Chiles/ Friends, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 622

An unmarked grave. The hot, blazing sun beats down upon the cracked red clay. Grass and weeds indiscriminately appear but do not cover the parched earth. Sadness overtakes me. Just a little over a year ago Chris and I had the privilege of taking Dancin’ Continue reading →

One Year Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Friends, Thoughts, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 4206

One year later I still have a hole in my heart. One year later I find myself thinking about texting you. One year later I check Instagram and think I should find a picture you posted. One year later I still tear up when I Continue reading →

Rest In Peace, Dancin’ Dave

On August 2nd Chris and I met a legend.  I can honestly say that I looked forward to meeting Dancin’ Dave whose real name, Dave Whatley was not known as widely as his beloved Dancin’ Dave name.  Dancin’ Dave passed away this past week and Continue reading →

Lay’s Do Us A Flavor Is BACK!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Food, Friends, Products, Thoughts/ 9 Comments/ 5943

I knew it was coming but little did I know that I would transport Lay’s across state lines for research.  I have transported many things in my lifetime but chips?    It was all for science and I was so excited when I was picking Continue reading →

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...

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

An Abundance of Katherines

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...
