Margarita’s, Margarita’s, Margarita’s!  Let’s celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration held on May 5th. It is celebrated nationwide in the United States and regionally in Mexico. The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.  Often mistaken for Mexican Independence Day (which is Sept. 16), Cinco de Mayo commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla between the victorious ragtag army of largely Mexican Indian soldiers against the invading French forces of Napoleon III. Mexican Americans, during the...

PROBLEM: Many people go to the pet store and just start picking out fish for their new tank like an interior decorator picks out new furniture for a mansion.

Keeping a few hens in your backyard will give you fresh eggs that are significantly more nutritious than what you normally buy at the supermarket. Free-range eggs have less cholesterol and saturated fat, and more vitamin E, beta carotene vitamin A and omega-3s than the eggs you’re used to.

When I was a little girl, I had a best friend that lived across the street from us. Her Mother sewed and she would make clothes for all of them to wear to Church. I remember going over on Saturday’s and Aunt...
