Hi!  I’m Charla and I’m so glad you came to visit!  Wish we could sit down and have a glass of iced tea together (or coke, soda, pop, or whatever you like best)  If you ever want to, you can contact me at:  charla@healthyhomeblog[DOT]com.

*  My relationship with God is the most important thing in my life…He is my life!

*  I’ve been married to my sweetheart, Tony, for 34 years! He is my second best friend.

*  Perspective changes how we look at things!  34 years is not a long time! 

*  We have a daughter, Christi, & son-in-law and a son in college. Our family is such a blessing!

*  We have two precious grandsons:  “J” (age 3)  &  “C” (one year old in April 2010)

*  Being a grandma is awesome!

*  I’m a Texas girl – born, raised and still living in Texas.

*  I taught elementary school for 19 years (special ed, first grade, & second grade)

*  Now I do substitute teaching, private tutoring, & blogging.

*  Who inspired and encouraged me to become a blogger:   Alan, our son

*  I hope to go back to teaching full-time.

*  I like to do volunteer work at a Food Pantry when I can.

*  I hope to have time someday to work with the Women’s Prison Ministry.

*  I hope to start a garden this year, 2010.

*  Favorite vacation spots – Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Hawaii

*  Favorite snacks – nuts, air-popped popcorn drizzled with EVOO & sea salt, and “Ants on a Log.

*  Our daughter Christi’s blog: The Frugal Novice

*  Did I mention that being a grandma is awesome?

Above is a picture that our son took of me with his iPhone before I knew what he was doing.  (I’m really talking on the phone.  By the way, I’m thankful for corded phones because if I can’t find either of the cordless phones, I always know where the corded one is located!)

Here’s a picture of Christi and me together, taken April 2010.
