This months profile is most suited for the summer season when everything is green, colorful, full of life, and a free sprit, Whar a pleasure it is to pen a profile of our very own Billie 'Charlie' Malone.
This wonderful lady used to ride with our own Frank Chaney when she was a little girl ( Hey , it's his daughter!), and before those dastardly little boys came into her life with there snakes, snails and puppy dog tails. This was at a time when the household acquired two go carts and the back side of the lot that the house sits on had some very , very high grass to make a go cart track. Well before you could shake a stick the grass was ridden down and the corners had 1/2 foot banks! In rememberance of this spot helping raise fine children, the chaney household now uses this spot for a garden. That soil seams to be good for both if used with fertizler for plants and fertizler for the spirit.
Now here is the real kicker: this lady is not only a figure of beauty but she also has the brains to match1 When Charlie was very young< it seems that her dad had to work on a go cart motor and had it on a wooden wir espool hae was using for a table. Who do you think was there by his side and helping? Well yeah it was Charlie greasy hands and all. They worked on the motor all night. Seems that these two had an awesome bond and amuch sought after relationship. You might say Charlie was always a tomboy. Yep, beauty, brains, and unbridled by sexisms. She not only wrenches on her own cars, changes her own oil, fixes her own flats, but wired in her own washing machine. Two years ago, Charlie and her mother screened in her back porch and replaced part of the frame work. now that we have covered a little about how good she Charlie is with tools around the automobile and home, perhaps we should also touch on her craft of cooking. The word is she could open a restaurant! No kidding, i am told that this girl can work a kitchen and make it produce food that is to die for! From an impeccable source, "Charlis is an ecellent cook and that her whole family wil attest to the fact". When and if the opportunity arises , (hint), i plan to park my feet under her table where Droopy Drawers and i will try her vittles on for size. Oh but wait.......i forgot she moved from the area and has lived in Mt. Washington, Ky for over 8 years ! Longway to try good ole country cooking, but her mother and dad will still make the trek given the opportunty! Anyway, Charlie met her husband Mike when the was transferred to Dalton, Ga. to open a pizza parlor and Charlie applied for a job. Soon the couple fell inn love and married...... the rest is history. In 2001 the Malones moved to Ky.
If you remember back, her sons Jason and Patrick have already beem profiled futher proving tha apple theroy! Charlie loves to watch her childern play sports.
Her intret also include watching booger movies and reading (romance, mystery, fix-it yourself, home repair, etc) Charlie is very conscientious, devoted to family and a hard worker..... just ask one of the Keebles!. Charlie works in the llittle treehouse,....you know Keebler cookies...... stocking the stores. She is working hard to have her son Jason in private school. It would be worht the time to reread the profiles of Jason and Patrick to refresh their accomplishments, drives and goals. Then you will see the payoff of Charlie's efforts.
Here is the twist: Charlie does not ride anymore- Jason just got his learners permit- and wants a bike- Charlie says "NO"!
YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
Do yourself a favor and when you meet Charlie, shake her hand for our sister has a story to tell. Listento what she has to say and you will walk away a better person

There is a man i know who's heart is bigger than most. he is always thinking of everyone else instead of himself. He will give you the shirt off his back and not even think about the fact it is freezing. He would give up his last meal to someone hungry and not think twice about it.
He aways has a smile on his face and a kind word on his lips for you. I have never seen him with a frown on his brow or a harsh word on his lips.
Even though he may be going through some hard and troubling times of his own he will not ask for or take help willingly. So when others do help or offer, it is with great reluctance that he excepts it. For he is a proud man and has a right to be, because he is part of a great big and caring family that has learned a lot from him. I know becaus i have learned a great deal from him even though i have only known him for about 3 years.
It is a great honor that i can call him my friend, my brother and be a part of his second family. The man i am talking about is our own Terry Simons. The next time you see him take afew minutes and have a chat with him and you will see what i am talking about. I am not the writer or story teller he is and never will be, but ifelt the need to tell everybody about this man i call a friend and brother.
