Cat 4 Warning

Beth Ann Chiles/ Humor, Writing/ 11 Comments/ 762

There was a Cat 4 storm that hit our house this week. It caused considerable damage. It started out with a pretty shaky assembly by the humans. The new taco truck had to be reinforced with duct tape. . . . Maksim catapulted off the Continue reading →

“I Don’t Want That Cart!”

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 596

People are funny. I think people are getting funnier (or weirder) every day. Maybe I just encounter more than my share of people these days but let’s face it— some people just need to tone it down and be a nice human. I have shopped Continue reading →

It’s Good to Be a Boomer

Beth Ann Chiles/ Humor, Writing/ 10 Comments/ 668

When Chris and I were driving home from Ohio this past week we had the chance to observe some interesting driving behaviors. We have all encountered it. But it seemed to be rampant on this trip. I blame the eclipse. Or something. But Chris, in Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Travel, Writing/ 6 Comments/ 637

It’s been a great couple of weeks and Chris and I just got back from a road trip to Ohio – land of buckeyes and gray skies. The original reason for the trip was to celebrate some milestones in the lives of my sister and Continue reading →

The Other Side of Fortunes

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 472

Chris and I picked up some Chinese take out on our way back home from our road trip to Ohio. As always I look forward to the fortune cookies. Not for the cardboard tasting cookies but for the fortunes. We always laugh about them and Continue reading →

Spring Break Sixties Style

Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel, Writing/ 5 Comments/ 555

Chris surprised me last week and said “Let’s go to the beach for a couple of days next week” and you know I would never turn that offer down, right? So off we went to just spend a few days and nights at the beach. Continue reading →

Play at Your Own Risk

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 714

An unflattering picture of my handsome husband…. . Sitting by the outdoor chess set at a resort and I spy this sign. . So the questioning mind I have is asking “what is the risk?” Will the knights gallop over me? Will the King crown Continue reading →

Priorities

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 546

. The title of the post today may be a little bit misleading. It is about priorities but maybe not in the normal way. I ran across this question on a Facebook page I follow and it made me stop for a moment and think. 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...

An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
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...
