Rhubarb and Ducks

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 510

With a title like that one has to wonder if I have lost control of my ever loving mind. Well, not quite but I guess it could be coming. But the title of my post has something to do with a couple of different conversations Continue reading →

It’s Summer Time!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 549

Seems like my posts lately have been about things that I am observing around me. I guess that is a good thing, right? That I am observant? Whatever the case it is nice to see signs of summer all around. One of the true signs Continue reading →

Caution When Driving!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 475

Driving through Connestee Falls (our neighborhood) has its challenges at times. The windy, steep roads that find their way through the forest can be intimidating at times but if you take your time and stay alert it all works out. However, now we have yet Continue reading →

I Am Not Andrew

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 461

I have a phone number that a lot of people seem to want to call or text. My most frequent wrong number/text one is one for Stephen who apparently owns some property on Maple Road that everyone wants. I can not tell you. how many Continue reading →

Hold The Feta

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 22 Comments/ 429

It’s a first world problem. I realize that. I am privileged. I also realize that. But last week I was a little miffed and it revolved around feta. I had been working long days at the AAUW Book Sale and dinners were sketchy at best. Continue reading →

The Day After Father’s Day

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Holiday, Writing/ 16 Comments/ 572

Sometimes I realize how short life can be and how I so want to be able to see my parents and talk to them. Father’s Day is one of those days, like Mother’s Day, that carries with it many emotions. As I reflect on my Continue reading →

Just Don’t Make Eye Contact

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 24 Comments/ 551

It’s been awhile since those carefree days of mall shopping but I did manage to get an afternoon of that done at the end of April with Ann until she broke her leg. That’s a story for another day. But one of the things that Continue reading →

Long Days

Beth Ann Chiles/ Dementia, Thoughts, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 653

I have had some long days recently and I realize that it is on those days that I really miss my mom. It seems like a daughter always needs her mom and on the recent long days when I was tired and needed to vent Continue reading →

Gramma! You Did It!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 16 Comments/ 444

Awhile ago when Chris and I were on a little vacation in Southport, NC we ate at a cute little restaurant on the water.  I excused myself before the food arrived to go avail myself of the facilities.  I was trying to pre-empt my brother Continue reading →

I Choose Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 489

I choose love over hate anytime. I choose positivity over negativity. I choose glass half full over glass half empty. I choose happiness over sadness. I choose embracing over holding at arm’s length. I choose lightness over darkness. I choose to be part of the Continue reading →

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users

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
5 of 5 stars
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
4 of 5 stars
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...

5 of 5 stars
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...
