July 12, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

I have a horrible memory. It doesn't matter if I try to remember events from my childhood, or high school, even college or two weeks ago. What I think I remember may not be an actual memory. I might be remembering family stories or making up my own from old photos. When I was very … Continue reading Do they have an app for that?
