What Do You Want to Do Today?

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Travel/ 11 Comments/ 732

Chris asked me that on Saturday. He asks me that a lot of days but particularly on Saturday I think he was feeling the need to get out of the house and go somewhere. That’s what being semi retired (him) is all about. Being able Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Comments for a Cause, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 2227

I’ve been trying to play around with some stuff on my blog this week to update the way that folks comment and hopefully I haven’t messed everything up totally. It always takes me some time to navigate the ins and outs of making changes and Continue reading →

That Door!

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Writing/ 14 Comments/ 1308
