Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Travel/ 8 Comments/ 1606

I went down a rabbit hole of sorts today and went back to start rereading when I started this blog in 2008 when we were in Australia. Well, one post led to another to another and before I knew it I was reliving those days Continue reading →

On our anniversary trip we did ALL the touristy stuff and it was great. The trip to Tennessee centered around seeing Ruby Falls and Rock City. Our trip to Rock City to see the gardens was inspired by seeing all of those signs along highways Continue reading →

Look Out – My Brain May Be On Fire

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 40 Comments/ 639

My dear sweet husband has a way of imparting knowledge that no one else on earth can possibly come up with.  It is one of his more endearing qualities.  He is somewhat of a sponge.  Read a fact and it stays with him for life. Continue reading →

The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users

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...
