Arsty Smartsy Family

This passed Monday there was a news report on High School Students giving back to the community.  I’m proud to say that my eldest nephew was one of the wonderfully talented students that was in the newscast.  I’m sure my sister is prouder than anyone being that she raised her kids as a single mom….

Gift Ideas

Mother’s day is a few weeks away but I’m already planning and plotting for great custom made gifts.  One of the gift ideas I have in mind is a key finder.  I often find myself plopping my keys in my purse but when I need them I have to dig inside my purse to find…

Going to the Drive-In

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to go to the drive-in theatre.  I’ve only been to the movie theatres (and that was twice!) and when I was older many of the dates Tan and I had were to the movies. I never knew drive-ins truly existed (except in movies) until Tan had taken…

My Cell Phone Blings
