Family…..Wife for 37 years and 1 day to my soul mate, Carl Johnston; widow since Aug 15, 2013; mother of 6 children in blended family (when we married the kids were 2 ½, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10) and Nana to 7 grandchildren.
Greatest honor received…. 2013 Texas State Board of Education Hero’s for Children Award in Austin (there’s a plaque on the wall with my name on it – unbelievable!)
If I could change careers, I’d…be an attorney.
I’m happiest when ….I’m talking about the needs of others and the opportunities to serve that The Main Place offers.
The last book I read was…the large print edition of one of the alphabet murder mystery series by Sue Grafton.
I wish I knew how to …get and stay organized.
The four guests at my fantasy dinner party would be…my sweet mother, my awesome husband, my merciful savior Jesus, and the best president ever, Ronald Reagan.
My ideal vacation is… exploring Europe, or, uh, cruising Alaska; or, uh, in BC with my Canadian friends; or, uh, visiting my lifelong friends.
My favorite restaurant is…wherever I am eating that serves creative farm to table food, with unobtrusive service, a pleasant ambiance and gives big discounts to senior citizens – ha! Actually – August is Dallas Restaurant Week and those participating restaurants who offer a discounted prix fixe menu are my favorites, ie, Abacus, Capital Grille, etc.
If I won the lottery, I would….plan an around the world cruise; set up an endowment to The Main Place; pay college tuition for girls who I know from The Main Place who need the opportunity to be awesome.
Give a little—Get a little Why not donate a door prize
at a monthly luncheon? Just give something you'd like to receive yourself
—something that represents your business—
or a generic little gift item.
Thanks to the following for generously donating a door prize at our last luncheon!
The history of costume jewelry is fascinating and our speaker this month, Kimberly Moore, will regale us with its history and information on the well-known designers of the early to mid-1900s.
Kimberly has been repurposing vintage costume jewelry for several years, collecting high quality clip earrings, shoe clips, and brooches and making them into beautiful, wearable jewelry for today.
Bring some of your own vintage costume jewelry to the luncheon and learn the history of your treasures and discover how they can be repurposed into something new!
Check out Kimberly’s website—www.kimberlymoorerings.com—to see some of her one-of-a-kind pieces. She will also have her handmade, repurposed vintage jewelry available for purchase at the luncheon.
