And the Winner Is .....

..... yes, I know that it's well past noon-ish Pacific time.
Give me a break.
I flew to California today.
And haven't had a lot of time to just sit and go through the comments.
So yes ..... it more like 11:00-ish at night.
Deal with it.

So .... the winner is .....
..... oh heck .... I couldn't pick just one of you.
Or two of you.
Twenty seven of you entered the contest.
Twenty seven of you need to go to Camp Widow.
Twenty seven of you need to connect with us .... so that you will know for sure that you are not alone.

And so ........ twenty seven of you have won.
Yes, you read that right.
Twenty.
Seven.
Of course, this means that Son #3 won't be able to go to college now ..... but we'll deal with that later.  For right now .... twenty seven of you will join us in San Diego.
I hope.

Here are the names of each of you who entered ... and won.
Please email me at Jeggerstx@gmail.com to let me know if you intend to come.
Soaring Spirits will cover three of you.
I will cover the other 24.
O.
M.
G.

I'm just thankful that 50 of you didn't try to win!!
Because I am a sucker when it comes to widowed people.
And I think that's a good thing.

Of course, if any of you other Peeps feel like donating to the cause .... to send 24 widowed people to Camp Widow ... I would NEVER refuse the offer of help.  :)

So here, for your enjoyment ..... and cause to jump up and down and celebrate .... are the 27 names that I "drew".  LOL!

If your name is on this list .... please email me ASAP and let me know if you are really going to go to Camp Widow.  We need to get you registered.

And the winners are ..... in no particular order:


1.Tom Schmidt
2.Lynn Buckley
3.Brandi Tillery
4.Sandra F.
5.Alexandrite Woman
6.Laurie R.
7.Liz Palika
8.Baldwinblisst
9.Roseann K
10.Susan Scott
11.Lori Anzini
