Hold the Line

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 13 Comments/ 495

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 →

Florence is Coming! Florence is Coming!

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Writing/ 38 Comments/ 472

Hurricane Florence is bearing down on the North Carolina coast as I write this.  We still have time before it comes inland and it appears that it will stall out and hangout for awhile before it really comes to the mountains.  I think it will Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Books/ 40 Comments/ 521

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 60 Comments/ 529
