Memories

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 11 Comments/ 391

Did you ever buy something simply because it evoked a memory that was pleasurable? I must admit that I do and recently I did just that. I wanted to get a new duvet cover for our bed. Maksim has made his mark (claws) known on Continue reading →

Tea Skills from Pandemic Revisited

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 12 Comments/ 753

I must admit that 2020 was an interesting year to put it mildly. I feel like we almost had a few months of “normal” and now we are back with the Delta variant raging everywhere. I know several people with “break through” outbreaks. We are Continue reading →

As always I am drawn to outdoor art installations and the latest Wild Art installation at the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville did not disappoint when we visited several weeks ago. A short walk through the grounds revealed many fabulous sculptures that fit in beautifully Continue reading →

Faith Not Fear

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Inspiration/ 18 Comments/ 22606

One of my favorite verses from the Bible is this one above. It is one that gives me so much comfort during difficult times and right now I feel as if I am in difficult times again. I have seen signs posted during the pandemic Continue reading →

Hold the Line

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 528

After my week + of AAUW Book Sale frenzy I happily whiled away some hours doing one of my favorite activities–reading. Chris was gone, the house was quiet, there was nothing that HAD to be done, the dock was ready, so I read and did Continue reading →

Sea Love on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Tea and Teapots/ 6 Comments/ 467

 I find the best teapots at Homegoods.  I found this one several years ago and love it. Seriously.  Where else could you find a sea urchin teapot complete with bumps and barnacles for $9?  I love the colors and detail on this one.  It even Continue reading →

Grandma Bonnie’s Zucchini Muffins

Beth Ann Chiles/ Recipes/ 5 Comments/ 876

It’s zucchini overload time and thanks to a generous neighbor I have found myself the recipient of several. I am not a lover of zucchini other than using it in breads, muffins and cakes. So grate it up and make a batch of something yummy Continue reading →

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
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...
