"Give Me One Dozen Roses"
The Story of Amazing Place Participant,
Johnnie Knight
"Music is not just learning notes and playing them. You learn notes to play the music of your soul"- Katie Greenwood
Teena Reese, devoted daughter and primary caregiver to Amazing Place participant, Johnnie Knight, lights up when she shares the story of her mother’s musical talent on the piano. Johnnie’s story is also laced with a deep love of family, square dancing, camping, playing bridge, numerous civic activities, the Tanglewood Garden Club, and shopping trips with her grandchildren...the music of her soul.

Participants celebrate rodeo week
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a big part of what makes life in Houston so special. Here on Joanel we had all of the fun with none of the traffic. It was a wonderful week of festivities that couldn’t have happened without the tremendous support from staff, volunteers, entertainers and the wonderful attitudes of all associated with Amazing Place.
