For The Beauty of the Earth

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 246

Do you have a song headache already from that title? It only seemed appropriate as I looked out from what will be our new library space at Connestee Falls on Thursday evening. We had a little meeting to get our library angels (our name for Continue reading →

What’s On Your Menu?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Cooking/ 7 Comments/ 185

See that stack of cookbooks in the header? One of my favorite things to do is to try new recipes and this stack of Skinnytaste cookbooks is tagged with many, many flags of recipes to try. It’s always been fun for me to look at Continue reading →

Currently

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 213

What I am reading. Just started this one and it is one that I am having a difficult time putting down. Been on a bit of a reading jag lately during this cold snap and this one is pretty eye opening. What I am listening Continue reading →

Tea 101

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 19 Comments/ 597

From time to time I like to take a look at some of my tea books that I have on my bookshelf. I recently replaced them after I put the Christmas decorations away and it made me happy to see my little collection of tea Continue reading →

Stick With Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 4 Comments/ 162

. The above quote seems very appropriate for today when we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. and his contributions to our country and world. His fight for civil rights in the 1960’s was inspiring and quite honestly, past time. I don’t get political on the Continue reading →

It’s All In the Name

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 33 Comments/ 4702

Do you like your name? Everyone has one. But be honest. Do you like yours? I have always loved my name. I am just Beth Ann. Not Elizabeth. Not Bethany. Nope. Beth Ann. Plain and simple. Perfect. Short and sweet. Nothing fancy and I think Continue reading →

Enough Already!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 215

Low temperatures and snow have settled in over our little paradise. I am going on record to say “enough already”. I am over it. I don’t mind the occasional snow — we haven’t had any for 3 years so it was time but usually it Continue reading →

Straining and Steeping on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 7 Comments/ 229

It seems there are a lot of folks who don’t know much about tea. Recently on one of my Facebook group feeds there was MUCH discussion about a teapot that was for sale at Aldi . Yep, Aldi again. Some people were trying to use Continue reading →

Right There In the Baking Aisle

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 20 Comments/ 233

Sometimes things hit you right smack dab in the face. Grief is like that. Just when I think I have it all under control I realize I don’t. And honestly – that is okay. That is how grief is. It is sneaky like that. I Continue reading →

Oops, I Did It Again!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 9 Comments/ 273

In the words of Britney Spears – “Oops, I did it again!”. Funny thing is I didn’t plan on it. The other day Chris and I headed to town to mail packages and grab lunch. We ran our errands, ate our lunch and since we Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...
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...
An Abundance of Katherines
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...
