I just love summer in Buffalo there is always something to do and you'll ask the question you asked your parents "are we there yet"? Summer is just around the corner and Artpark has annouced their line up of free concerts. Look for the former Poison front man Bret Michales who is the star of VH1's Rock of Love to kick things off June 3. Expect big names this year such as Trisha Yearwood and Michael McDonald. For a complete list of free concerts all summer long visit www.artpark.net

We always ask our for our mothers advice, well sometime we don't have to ask it is just given.(smile) In a recent survey, iVillage asked, "What was the best advice your mom ever gave you?"

• "You aren't getting anything done just sitting there. You've got to get up and go get it -- a job, success, a glass of soda, whatever -- take charge and just do it!" "Appreciate all the blessings that you receive in life, and don't bemoan the things you can't have."
• "Get an education, once you have it, no one can take it away from you."
• "If a guy really wants to talk to you, he'll call.
"
• "You can't change someone who doesn't want to change."
• "Never count on a man being around forever."
• "If you settle for less that's all you're going to get."
• "Don't marry the man you can live with - marry the man you can't live without."
• "Stay out of the sun!"
