Apple Fest

I spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon in Batesville at Apple Fest this past weekend. I've heard about it for years, but never made it to the festival. My friends at the Hispanic Community Advisory Committee of Batesville and I sold homemade empanadas and had a great time meeting members of the community. What a wonderful start to the fall season!

 

I also witnessed the cutest thing I have seen in a long time. This little lady was playing the bass drum in the Eureka Band at the festival. When I'm up in years, I hope I'm as active and involved as her. So cool.

A little browsing

After school today I headed down the street to The Book Shelf- a cute little used bookstore in Batesville. I didn't really have anything in mind...I just enjoyed browsing the shelves for a little bit. I always leave spaces like that really inspired to read or get creative with something. Plus, I think it's good to go on little adventures by yourself from time to time, don't you think?

La Fería del Colegio para Hispanos

I'm in an organization that helps the Hispanic Community in my area. Tonight, we had a college fair for Hispanic students and parents to learn about the opportunities they have for college- whether they are documented or not. I know now that I have taken so much for granted because my family was very familiar with the whole college application process. For example, here are some of the questions from tonight's session: What is a scholarship? What is an SAT? If no one in your family has ever gone to college, how would you know? Something to be thankful for, all you college grads!
