The Payoff at the End

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 5 Comments/ 620

It’s always good to have goals, right? Last week my goal was to recover enough so that I could make it to an event on Saturday night in Tryon. I had gotten tickets months ago for a Sean of the South event and instead of Continue reading →

Inconvenienced

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 785

Today I was just thinking about inconveniences. You know –those pesky things that pop up now and then that irritate and annoy. On a scale of 1 to 10 ( fresh in my mind from my recent ER visits) the level of inconvenience can be Continue reading →

Life Interrupted

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 16 Comments/ 683

Sometimes things roll along just as planned and then other times — poof—life takes a turn and you have to adjust. I had to make a few adjustments this past week and while it was unexpected, all is well. If anyone noticed I took an Continue reading →

30 Year Anniversary

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 635

Yesterday was an anniversary of sorts and it is one that had me just a bit teary all day long. My Daddy died 30 years ago and when I say that not a day goes by that I don’t think of him, it is not Continue reading →

Snippets of Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 5 Comments/ 741

A quick post today as life is being consumed by everything AAUW Used Book Sale related. Whew. As I write this I am relaxing after a long day of physical labor. I am sadly not used to this much physical labor and the annual book Continue reading →

I Am My Mother’s Daughter

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 629

There are times when it hits me hard how much I am like my mother. Recently it was an encounter with an almost empty tube of make up, foundation to be more accurate, that alerted me to that fact. I had neared the end of Continue reading →

You Call It Juglans Cinerea—-I Call it Agony

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 641

A repost from 2014 but it still makes me cringe when I see one of these on the ground. Anybody out there recognize that picture?  Anyone out there know what that is?  The scientific name is Juglans cinerea but the common name is Butternut.  Not Continue reading →

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...

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...
