I was born on February 26, 1969 in Orlando, Florida. My family lived in Winter Park at the time. I was born the youngest of 4 children.....the ages now are Jill--58, Doug -- 57; Jody -- 49; Me -- 41. I am the youngest and have always LOVED being the youngest.
I was born to "Ward and June Cleaver." Okay, well, maybe "June" didn't wear pearls when she vacuumed but it was darn close. But seriously, I was born to Clark and Shirley Johnson. I can never fully express how I really and truly hit the JACKPOT with the family that I was born into. My parents were THE MOST selfLESS people imagineable. Everything they did was for us and the benefit of us. They had unconditional love ALL of the time. They taught us responsibility and respect with leadership by example. They raised us in the church and also taught us the importance of patriotism for our country. As I grow older, I become more and more appreciative of all of these qualities that were so important to them. My grandparents and aunt and cousin lived close and equally a huge influence on my life.
My first remembrance as a child, for some strange reason, was the closet door handles in the house that I lived in until I was 3. Yes, strange, I know, but it probably explains a lot about me. LOL.
This ends the first summary of birth to toddlerhood......at the age of 4, we moved to Mount Dora....the start of an even more fulfilling life..............more to come with the next stage of life. :-)
