Enjoy the memories however you embellish or enhance them. Tell them and bring them to life. Story telling is the way history started and you are making history every day. Your story is worth telling so share away! My little story is about a hill in my childhood neighborhood called Gruenberg Hill. Today, the hill remains and so does the memory.
