we are here and you should be 2:35 AM

have you ever believed in something so much that it makes you crazy when no one else seems to recognize it? well that is what we do here at artspace. we believe in what we produce. from food to exhibit, we love and create the best. my grandmother( step grandmother by marriage) is 94 years old. she should have been chronicled in our exhibit except that it never occurred to me that she was that old because she is so vibrant and clear. i stopped, and i am busy, to listen to her this week and i was amazed.

stop by this week and hear what our elders have to say. it will touch your life. have a reuben or the new roast beef sandwich. like your in depth inquiry into the elders in your life, you will not be disappointed.

oh yeah order your holiday pie today!!!

For everyone who kept checking in for the blog last week, I appologize. The weather just got the best of us and no one was able to update. Just in case anyone was wondering we made it though the storms just fine. Our building was just fine, the church down the street however had some extensive damage. And for the man who got caught up in it we are wishing him a speedy recovery!
We are currently out of dessert for the start of the week but I will let you know as soon as I get some!
