Mother’s Day at Biltmore

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Travel/ 18 Comments/ 560

Phase 1 has opened up here in North Carolina and businesses are opening up very slowly and gradually. This COVID -19 thing has thrown everybody and everything for a loop. It has been, quite honestly, a new world. I never thought that I would say Continue reading →

Travel From Your Couch – Biltmore Blooms

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 6 Comments/ 413

One of the things that I am missing the most this spring is spending time at Biltmore Estate looking at all of their lovely blooming flowers. Last year I think I took about 4 trips around the estate at different times looking at the flowers. Continue reading →

Two Outdoor Apps I am Loving

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 13 Comments/ 457

Chris and I love, love, love to be outside hiking, chasing waterfalls and enjoying the great outdoors. Living in the mountains of western North Carolina affords us a lot of great outdoor opportunities. Recently due to the great warm weather we have been having we Continue reading →

Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, Diced, Peppered, Capped, Topped or Country – Your Choice

Beth Ann Chiles/ Food, North Carolina, Restaurants/ 19 Comments/ 929

In our ever continuing quest to tick things off of our bucket list Chris and I decided that we needed to experience our local Waffle House. A little known fact: we have not eaten at our local Waffle House since we moved here 4 1/2 Continue reading →

Looking to the Sky

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina/ 17 Comments/ 375

We have had the most amazing sunrises the past two mornings. I know the recent snow was simply beautiful (especially since it was all gone the next day) but these sunrises were stunning. I have honestly never seen such beautiful skies. Monday morning broke and Continue reading →

Snow in the Mountains

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography/ 11 Comments/ 404

We had a somewhat unexpected snow event on Friday and it ruined my plans. Cue the sad music, right? I had planned to head to Mooresville to spend some time with my friend, Ann, and go to an event at my former church but it Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton

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...
