Beth Ann Chiles/ Travel/ 24 Comments/ 501

Sometimes you gotta just smile, right? Our travel home from babysitting our grandson on Tuesday was a little bit frustrating but we met it (mostly) with trying to just see the lighthearted side of things. First up – great Lyft ride from Jersey City to Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books, Comments for a Cause/ 18 Comments/ 1431

Ah….August has arrived and where on earth did July go? It seemed like it was only about 5 days long and yet I managed to pack quite a bit into that month. I am sure everyone else probably feels the same way – it is Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, Writing/ 22 Comments/ 492

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
