Wow! I didn't notice before that you had won. Bravo! I agree with David, "it was only a matter of time."

You've put in a lot of work, great job! #2609243

Thanks Cherylann! If it weren't for all you guys and your help, not to mention your upbeat encouragement, I wouldn't even know how to use my new camera! So, thanks to you! #2609535

Hey Susan, didn't see this before, just opened BP and there it was on the right!!! Well done!! #2651265

Susan Jane Allen level-classic April 16, 2006

That's strange, where on BP did you see it on the right? On the contest page? #2651289

Robyn Gwilt April 18, 2006

Nope, on the home page, when you open BP, and they always have a pic on the right that changes everytime you open the home page. Well done! #2655732

Susan Jane Allen level-classic April 18, 2006

Okay, got it. I never go there as I always click on a link to the sign in page. #2655909

Kara L. Hendricks May 11, 2006

Congratulations on this fine win Susan...
You have had such an amazing life... WOW!!! #2751139

Susan Jane Allen level-classic May 11, 2006

Thanks Kara. You know, whenever I give a talk and hear myself introduced along with the list of places I've lived, I always think, "Gosh, it sounds so exciting!" Enriching yes, no one can deny that, but if I've learned anything, it's that living life is about the same everywhere. You still have to clean the toilet, see to the shopping, feed the cat, get along with your colleagues and neighbors... But most of all, I've found that my life is still just what I make it day by day. I can be stressed and irritable, or patient and joyful, depending upon how much effort I want to make in working on my character! But ":^) I must say that life is SO much more laid back and relaxing in non-Western countries... #2751714
