really is a reason behind my mom picking the spelling of my name. I have an older brother Gary. My mom wanted “ary” in both our names. Simple right? User-friendly, not so much. I don’t know how many times in school we would have a substitute and he/she would do the attendance and I would be Charly Hann. As in Charlie. Most formal documents have a note attached – do not correct name!!! I even remember signing up for a conference with my ex years ago. Bill & Charyl M – they thought we were 2 brothers and put us in a room with 2 other guys. Not so fun – trust me. Then a few years ago when I was on staff with System’s of Care I would go to court with our clients a few times a month. It got so that Judge DeLapp, one of our Judges would look up at me and say “”A – right?” That would be it and we would go on. So, just to set the record straight – I am Charyl with an “A”. Gotta love it!!!!!!!!

52 Pieces of Me Part 8
Once again, last week, I was filling out paper work that involved my name. Once again, I am being asked if it was spelled wrong. I have had this issue all my life. No, my name is spelled right. It is spelled with an “a” not an “e”. There

Granny Wilson's Cornbread
I have decided to start sharing favorite recipes once a week with you. I will give you a bit of the history of where I got the recipe and when I started making the particular dish. Hope you enjoy these and find some your family can love too.
Granny Wilson's Cornbread
This is a recipe I found in an old Navigator cookbook back in the late ‘70s. I have been making this to go with chili and such ever since. I have spoiled my family and traditional cornbread just isn’t sweet enough for them any longer. Hope you enjoy.
1 c. sugar
1 ¾ c. flour
1 c. cornmeal
1 T baking powder
1 ¾ c. milk
½ c. vegetable oil
2 eggs
Mix all ingredients and place in 9 x 13 oiled cake pan. Bake 375 for 30 minutes. Or 24 muffin cups for 15 minutes.

Fun at Woolaroc
Esther and I took the kids to Woolaroc last week. It was Esther, her cousin Maria, Eliana, Timmy Jr, Katrina, Kyleigh and I. We had fun even tho it got pretty warm and we took a wrong turn and ended up on a long over the hills and thru the woods walk. Kyleigh and Katrina took long 3 hour plus naps when we got home. They were exhausted.The kids played hard at the kid park.
Beautiful view!!!!!!
My 60th Birthday
Can't believe I have turned 60. I feel like I am still in my 40's. Just seems wierd. I remember as a kid thinking anyone 60 was over the hill and close to death. Funny how a person's perspective changes as we grow older.
Timmy made the fantastic cake. He does such an awesome job. I loved it!!!!!!!!
