The Elusive Perfect Banana

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 959

Apparently the perfect banana is difficult to find. During the supply chain issues, COVID staffing issues, and having someone else pick groceries out for curbside pick up I have been missing the perfect banana. My last bunch of bananas was totally green. I forgot to Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 16 Comments/ 387

10 Rules for Living Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 16 Comments/ 478
