I hope all of you have had a fantastic week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier today, I had the pleasure of turning in my FINAL EXAM! This is the exam for the very last class for my graduate program! I’M FINISHED & and SO RELIEVED!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My degree is Master of Science in Accounting and Finance! Commencement will be in December! I’ll be sure to post pics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on all that’s happening on the home front. Our son recently visited for the weekend. First time we’d seen him since he went away to college! It was nice having him home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband, Chris, recently celebrated his birthday. He requested that I bake him a cake. I had too much homework to do so we ordered cupcakes instead. Don’t they look yummy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My knees have been bothering me lately. I think I’m getting old. When I can manage it, I go for long walks around the neighborhood. Since I’m done with school, I’ll have more free time so that I can increase my exercise.\u00a0My cholesterol is pretty high, so, I’m working to improve it. If you have any suggestions, I’d appreciate it.<\/strong>\u00a0Here’s a pic that I took after one of my walks. Not sure why my eyes look closed! I guess I was looking down at the camera trying to get a good picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween night was pretty quiet in my neighborhood. I was busy working late and doing homework, plus, my outside light had burned out, so, I didn’t give out any candy. I’m wondering if kids go out trick-or-treating very much anymore. If you have kids\/grandkids, do they go out for Halloween?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was a kid we didn’t participate in Halloween. My dad brought home lots of candy for us, though. Speaking of candy, here’s a pic of my little grandniece after she went trick or treating! She hit the jackpot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of holidays and candy, Christmas is next month. Cinnamon Kisses<\/a> is a sweet, delicious Christmas novel – it will warm up your heart and soul during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Jamal returns home – he finds out that his mom is sick & struggling. He wants to help her and take care of her. Worried, he prays for his mom’s healing as he runs into Kelly, his first love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly has always resented her overbearing father – and longs to escape from her home. When she reconnects with Jamal, it’s like a breath of fresh air that brightens up her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamal has a problem, and it appears that Kelly is one of the few people who can help him to solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon Kisses<\/a> is a novel that will tug at your heartstrings. If you’ve already read it, then purchase a copy for a friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the rest of your week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
