The Brown Daze

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 3786

I hail from a family of writers. It’s a nice thing to know that others who have gone before have been creatives who like to share their words with others. My great, great uncle, Rollo Walter Brown, was a prolific writer and by all accounts Continue reading →

Things Certainly Have Changed

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 18 Comments/ 428

As I prepare for Mother’s Celebration of Life on September 25th, I have been looking at old photographs. One of the things that my sister did years ago was the perfect gift. She had all of Daddy’s slides converted to digital form and so I Continue reading →

Happiness Counts

Yesterday was all about Crabby Appleton. I decided today I should write about happiness. How about a book to help keep the happiness going? This one is called 14.000 Things to Be Happy About I love this book. The author, Barbara Ann Kipfer, started writing down Continue reading →

95 Napkins

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 22 Comments/ 526

95 napkins. I cleaned out the napkins from the car and there were 95 unused napkins. They have overrun the car. Now this is not MY car. This is the car that belongs to the hubby. I don’t think I have more than 10 in Continue reading →

The Perfect Gift

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Writing/ 14 Comments/ 539

I have had the privilege of making a lot of friend over the years. Moving around has its perks. Having a husband who has had different jobs over the years has helped with some of those perks as well. Last week I received a package Continue reading →

In A Blink of An Eye

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 15 Comments/ 552

Just like that. In a blink of an eye. I am an AARP member. How on earth did that happen? A couple weeks ago I had a mammogram (important for all the ladies out there) and in our conversation when I was filling out paperwork Continue reading →

Why We Celebrate Labor Day

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 386

Labor Day is so much more than the end to summer and cookouts and gatherings. Of course this year the holiday weekend still looks a little bit different – at least for us it does. Covid has not gone away so we are not gathering Continue reading →

The Ultimate Sacrifice

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 423

Please remember these brave men and women’s families in your prayers. I can not begin to imagine the pain and sense of loss they must feel at this point or when they got word that their loved one was a casualty in the Kabul bombing Continue reading →

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
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...
