Home Is Where Mom Is

Beth Ann Chiles/ Dementia, Family, Holiday, Thoughts, Writing/ 22 Comments/ 439

For those of us who still have our mothers with us on earth Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate her. Growing up there were always bouquets of dandelions and other “weeds”, awkwardly drawn pictures and misspelled words on homemade cards to celebrate the day. Continue reading →

You Can Quote Me

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Thoughts, Writing/ 42 Comments/ 399

The title is misleading.  I admit it. The following quotes are not mine so you can’t actually quote ME on these but you can quote these other people. Sometimes I like to find quotes that strike a chord with me. I find that the ones Continue reading →

It’s the absolute truth.  I love electricity.  I love all that it does for me.  It powers my life in so many ways and when I don’t have it I get a little bit crabby. Yep. Me. Crabby. We were preparing for  winter storm Diego Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Dementia, Thoughts, Writing/ 76 Comments/ 494

“I just want to go home.” It is a common phrase for many people but most often it is a phrase that is heard in nursing homes and care centers. This has been what I have heard all week during my visit with my mom. Continue reading →

The Days We Celebrate

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Thoughts, Writing/ 24 Comments/ 418

Thanksgiving. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday. If you are like me you are thinking that we have had a huge run on “special days” recently.  It all starts with Thanksgiving and then there seems to be a special day every single day.  Now they Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 42 Comments/ 389

Friday is a great day to share randomness, don’t you think?  I have more random in my life than order at this point it seems. But bear with me and hopefully my randomness will entertain and amuse you. First up is a medley of googly 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...
