and the winner is:

Evie...with this entry:

“I wrap my hands around a steaming cup of hot tea and fire up the computer. Hopelessly addicted, I direct my browser to the Boomer Women Speak Forums, where unseen kindred spirits pour out their hearts to discuss relationships, children, careers, midlife crises, hobbies, faith, travel, and health issues. Having no real sisters of my own, I am so thankful for this haven of boomer sisters who help each other navigate the murky waters of our generation.”

Congrats Evie! Thanks for your thoughts, emotions, and kind words. Your prizes will be in the mail next week.

Ladies, it was tough to pick a winner because I connected with each and every entry in some way.

I'll post all other entries as soon as I hear from everyone.

I'd also like some feedback about themonthly contests. I'm trying to mix them up a bit. Any other ideas or suggestions?

YUHOOOOO! Queen here...I just want to say that I'm soooo proud for Evie! She really sumed it up for us, didn't she? What a boomer! What a girl! What a...a...wait a dang minute...I didn't win anything. What the heck am I so cheerful about...geez...oh..now I remember! Go Evie...Go Evie!
