October Events Boss Lady This year, I opened up the publishing arm of my business to outside authors. We debuted a children’s author with resounding success this past summer. Ariel Mendez is a children’s author who happens to be an extraordinary child. Her mother took notice of your paper stapled books and realized that her phonetic writing made sense at the tender age of five-years-old. Ariel’s mother was gracious enough to allow me to read them.

The power to entertain, inform and engage with people from around the world is exciting, gratifying, and makes me humble for all the readers who have tried one of my books. Picnic in the Park All of my little people are in school now except one. Since the school year begins in August here, the school-aged kids get a Fall break in early October. I volunteer to keep all of the little people in my life for over the break. I cannot think of a better way to spend time with my grandbabies then a picnic in the park on a sunny day in October. It just so happens to be my birthday. The crew is very excited about going to the park. It turned out to be hotter than I anticipated. We found a spot shaded by a tree. All I wanted was a nice photograph to commemorate our time together. I did not get what I wanted. No sooner than the last bite of the sandwich being washed down by a
