Gala/German FUN!

As many of you know, I am completely into my heritage. I have not always been that way but as you age, you tend to be more appreciative of diversity and your family roots. My Omi, that is German for Grandmother, has taken time throughout my life and taught me the language, customs and even shared a delicious recipe here and there! I cherish those moments and one day, I hope to pass it along to my children.
It not often but sometimes, Omi gets the opportunity to be an honorary guest at a local Oktoberfest and even parties with a German theme. My Omi and I take advantage of every chance to educate and enjoy the German Culture. Recently, she was invited to a German Festival that also doubled as a fundraiser for a local library in my hometown. Of course, there was imported beer and wine, delicious food and DANCING!
