Memories

Do you accumulate "stuff"? We do. We have boxes and bags of "stuff". We are trying to clean up and clear out the garage and basement to make room to move around and yes, more "stuff". Because one man's trash is another man's treasure, we have decided to have a big yard sale next weekend. Greg, Johnny, Amy, and I pulled boxes and bags out of the basement and garage and looked through all of our treasure. We played with Amy's old Barbie toys, tried on Johnny's minibike helmet, found a missing necklace, cried over some very sentimental keepsakes that were ruined by being stored in the garage, reminisced about life long ago, and prayed someone will find our trash to be something they can't live without! Greg and I laughed over memories of the "zebra stripes" in the lawn when we unearthed the spreader-it was not very funny at the time-; Amy and Johnny remembered their first home together and reflected on life as a "cellar dwellers". We hope you will visit our sale and take home some of our treasure and use it to make memories for you. I would love to hear from you about "stuff".
