I'm Finishing Things

Years ago Allan bought me a beautiful handmade paper piece of art on which a Hebrew prayer for finishing things was inscribed. He gave it to me with hope that the sewing projects I had started and stacked in my sewing room would someday be finished, but I think of that beautiful keepsake as I begin my adventure at Auburn. In 1973 I began a master's degree program in Industrial Engineering and in 1975 I left the program unfinished. In 2010 I begin the process of finishing the program.

I've finished!

I have a diploma that verifies the fact that I've earned my MISE degree. It was a great graduation weekend with my wonderful family and many of my new and old friends sharing the excitement with me.

It has been an amazing year and I'm so lucky to have had support and encouragement from everyone to live my dream. Thank you!!!

Now I'm back in New Orleans trying to figure out what to do with all of the stuff (mainly books) that I accumulated. My La-z-boy chair will go to good use--my son Brandon claimed it quickly. I have an office attached to my sewing room downstairs, but I'm afraid I'll be too distracted there so I'm trying to arrange the third floor to be my PhD office where I'll go for my work day. Next milestone...PhD...
