Bomers wins!

Conway, Arkansas is home to three universities/colleges. It is no wonder that we made fun college friends that took us in off the streets and gave us a place to stay. After showers, we were invited to attend an election party on the Hendrix College campus. There was a big TV, blue and red balloons, free Bomers posters, and tons of free food. All the little young democrats were running around passing out stickers and acting frantic in their blue Oxfords and ties. Once Obama was in the 200's in the electoral count, I headed back to the house to watch the race in peace. I wanted to be sure and catch the speeches in a place where I could hear. I sat back and enjoyed the ride. One state after the next turned blue. I am encouraged by the outcome and found Obama's acceptence speech moving and inspriational. I wish I could have been standing there watching it, next to Oprah.

Today, I cleaned our hosts kitchen and watched the pundits battle back and forth about the what ifs and maybe who's. I also got distracted with one episode of "Project Runway." Which was the finale and therefore, awesome. In the evening, I got to hang out with the Apiculture Club at Hendrix and make lots of little honey bear labels. The beekeepers oversaw the bees and harvested the honey and now they are selling it as a fundraiser for the club. The girls set off on an adventure and ended up in a ceramics lab. They also got to garden and compost. This is a very chill town.
