Do Memories Really Fade With Time?

So we had our annual yard sale this past weekend. And as always, there proved to be some interesting people and plenty of frustrations along side of making some extra dough and spending a day with my dear friend. I realized that as the weekend approached that I had made it a year since the drama or should I say trauma that following last years sell. So for those of you who I didn't know....here is the post from then: Who Know That Nightmare Where You're Naked In Public? As I sat nursing 8 week old Wyatt that rare but all too memorable gurgle hit my stomach. That bubbling from something being not quite right in my gut.

However about every 20 minutes thereafter, it was getting more sever.I sat there on my porcelain throne, trembling and worried. The trash can dumped out on the floor so I would have a bucket to vomit in. Debating whether to call someone to come over for help and to watch the kids

Also, you can enter each of your family members on the month of their birthday you get a free pizza. Plus you get points with each purchase that can add towards free pizza. Now we live about 3 houses behind Eureka and while it is a blessing to walk up and pick up supper, it can also be a curse to constantly have to smell pizza each night...especially those nights when I'm really tired and don't feel like cooking and those days when we're having something like tuna cassarole...tuna/piz
