Congratulations Dee and Eagle...you said it all. I can relate fully.
Dee, I didn't know you were a poetress(is that a word?)

Oh, I`m so excited and tickled by this that I`m dancing in my chair! Thank you everyone - congratulations Dee! What an awesome surprise!

I`m actually in northern Quebec right now, for a short vacation, visiting hubby`s family. It`s somewhat difficult finding time and opportunity to get online here, but I try to get here once a day to stay caught up. Even now, people are waiting for me upstairs to join them in yet another card game, so I can`t stay for long.

I love this community, and I really miss you - and WHOA, a huge crack of thunder just resounded - my BIL wants me to shut down his computer! Bye!!!

Dee requested that I give the five books to a local community. I live right behind the Presbyterian Home and Dee happens to be Presbyterian so guess who's getting a surprise this weekend?

The five books were all donated by Williams Morrow/Harper Collins. I just love the way they donate books for our contests!

I gathered five books that I thought the elderly would enjoy. So here goes:

The Light Within: The Extraordinary Friendship of a Doctor and Patient Brought Together by Cancer, by Lois M Ramondetta, MD and Deborah Rose Sills

Ladies of Liberty, by Cokie Roberts

Clinton in Exile: A President Out of the White House, by Carol Felsenthal

Bulls Island, by Dorothea Benton Frank

Entertaining at the White House with Nancy Reagan, by Peter Schifando and J Jonathan Joseph

Dee, I'll give them with a note saying that you donated them. Do you want me to include your last name?

Dotsie...you can give the books on behalf of Boomer Women Speak...you don't have to use my name. I'm happy that Williams Morrow/Harper Collins donated books and I hope that the Presbyterian Home will be able to use them.
Thanks again, Dotsie, for the lovely gesture and I'm so glad I was able to do this because of the contest. I love this site.
Hugs hugs hugs!!!
