Feeling Unconnected

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 11 Comments/ 2742

I was unconnected for over an hour today and it felt like an eternity.   When I say I was unconnected what I really mean is that my internet was not working. Horror of horrors. I know that it really is not the end of Continue reading →

George and Gertie

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, Thoughts, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 3292

George and Gertie the Canada Geese have adopted our yard as their home base.  I suspect it is for a couple of reasons. Spring is here in North Carolina and time for baby geese.  Our house is located across from a tiny island on the Continue reading →

Crossroads

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Writing/ 41 Comments/ 3605

We are at a crossroads of sorts. Developmental Disabilities. Down Syndrome. Alzheimer’s Disease. All three of these things describe my brother in law, Carlton, whom I have written about before here on It’s Just Life.  I have only written about him here because I love Continue reading →

One Year Later

Beth Ann Chiles/ Friends, Thoughts, Writing/ 20 Comments/ 4241

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...
