Keep Calm and Drink Tea

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Tea and Teapots, Writing/ 30 Comments/ 3957

Keep calm and drink tea.  I am taking my own advice today because I need to. Moving is stressful.  As much as I try to pretend it isn’t – it is.  Thank goodness for a husband who handles all of the loan information and financial Continue reading →

The house is quiet. Except for the soft purring of Buddy and Holly and the birds chirping outside all is still. Aaron and Erin have come and gone. Chris is back on the road. And I am left alone in the house to continue to Continue reading →

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...
