Hi there. What a great site! I read about Boomerwomenspeak in the Seattle Times newspaper and had to check it out. I'm 62, paint on a maintenance crew for the Veterans Hospital in Seattle (for the past 20 years), two grown chidren, a boy and a girl, both out on their own and doing great in their careers, a grandma of two, married three times and in a relationship, but no desire to marry again. Your topics are so relevant to women of the boomer generation ~ really a breath of fresh air. I'm glad to be here... ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif)

Hi Emerald lady, I too am from the Seattle area, Enumclaw. That article in the Times really helped get all us 'other' Washington ladies in here! I am 48 and married 27 years, one 18 year old son and my 'girl' Shadow, a golden retriever. Welcome!

Welcome Emerald!
From Olympia, and more and more of us from Washington State are joining in on this website.
I'm 59, married 41 years in Nov., two dtrs., 4 grandsons. Contemplating divorce, but this group is really helping me set my head straight!
Learning so many things from reading the forums.
Enjoy!

Wow! Olympia and Enumclaw are here also! I think you can thank the Seattle Times for a really great article for the invasion ~ LOL!Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm enjoying reading the various forums and amazed at how many I can relate to.

I too am from the Seattle area - Kirkland (Juanita technically) and also read about this site in the Seattle Times. This is my first time ever replying to someone on a messsage board but this site seems to be the magic one for me. I am married - 28 years - and have a 27 yr old son. I'm really looking forward to touching base with other boomer women about topic that interest our generation.

Hey there, WA!
First of all, a big welcome to Emerald. You sound so dynamic and full of life. You will find a warm, supportive community here!
And second, wow - I had no idea there were so many Washingtonians among us. My daughter lives in Seattle, and I'm there all the time, it seems. Why not have a WA BWS reunion sometime? I'm up for it.
