What Do You Want to Do Today?

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Travel/ 11 Comments/ 570

Chris asked me that on Saturday. He asks me that a lot of days but particularly on Saturday I think he was feeling the need to get out of the house and go somewhere. That’s what being semi retired (him) is all about. Being able Continue reading →

Goat friends, that is. Chris took me to hike a bit and see the goats at Carl Sandburg Home in Flat Rock, North Carolina. It’s my happy place for sure and this was the first time we had visited in all of our many visits Continue reading →

One of our side trips after our trip to Bethesda, Maryland was to stop at some of the historical sites that we had never visited before. Chris has always been somewhat of a history buff and we have talked about going to Mount Vernon and Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Photography, Travel/ 11 Comments/ 549

The Blue Ridge Parkway is such a fabulous place and we recently came back from a trek on some of the Parkway that we had not been on before. The foliage is on the way out but there were still a lot of patches where Continue reading →

Just an Hour in West Jefferson

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Travel/ 7 Comments/ 579

An hour isn’t very long but it was long enough to know that I want to go back to West Jefferson, North Carolina. Chris and I hadn’t been there for probably 17 years and as we were traveling on our way to Maryland it was Continue reading →

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...

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...
