A Creative Solution
Activities/Other Affiliations……. I have concentrated on IWN (and the Women’s Division—Irving Chamber before that) so as not to “dilute” my efforts.  I have recently become more heavily involved in The Main Place, now serving on the board as communications director.
 
Interests…..I’m an avid reader.  I love crossword puzzles.  I like disaster films, science fiction movies, and waayyy too much tv J.  I adore surfing the web – researching either one topic or another – or just looking things up …… just because I can! J Oh, and then there’s comedy – gotta have me some funny stuff.
 
Family….. I have one child – a son, Kevin, born in December 1985.  My brother, Alan (who, if you remember, spoke to IWN early last year on Personality Colors) and his family – the world’s best niece and nephew- and an awesome sister-in-law.

Greatest honor received…. My son sent me a mother’s day card several years ago with this message:  “I should have listened to you more.  Turns out you were right all along.”
 
If I could change careers, I’d… be an attorney
 
I’m happiest when …. Researching some subject online, making a new form, or reading a really good book.  Actually, I’m really happiest when I remember that Jesus is ultimately in control and this messy world we live in will someday be perfection.    Psalm 46:10:  Be still and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth.
 
The last book I read was…  W is for Wasted by Sue Grafton
 
I wish I knew how to … play guitar really well.
 
The four guests at my fantasy dinner party would be… Tom Selleck (yeah, Billie, me, too), my mom and dad, and my son.  OH MY, can I have TWO parties???
 
My ideal vacation is…a coastal setting in a non-humid climate
 
My favorite restaurant is…You mean, besides Sharon Johnston’s house?  I recently discovered a home-style place in Carrollton called Babe’s Fried Chicken that has a very limited menu, but oh, so delicious food.
 
If I won the lottery, I would…. wonder how in the heck that happened as I don’t buy the tickets! But if I did and if I won, I’d sigh, offer a prayer of thanks, pay off my son’s college loans, put the bulk in savings I can’t easily touch and live off of the dividends, give a lot away - starting with family, pay off debt, buy a house and spend just a little “willy-nilly.”
