Smells

How many times do you smell something and it takes you back to a memory? Oh my gosh this week has been one smell after another.. I was outside the other day and it was one of the cooler days in Texas and the air was crisp and the smell of fall leaves brought back a ton of memories. I love that smell and I wish they made a room spray that smelled like that...One of my memories was like when I was 8 years old we lived in Memphis and behind our neighbors house there was a treehouse and we would all go back there and play and just that smell brought me back to that little girl running trying to catch up with my brother and his friends to go to the treehouse to find a sign that said No Girls Allowed:) Also this week I was in the grocery store and a older man walke by me and he smelled like old spice which is what my Papa Gail use to wear and it made me miss him so much! I wanted to go up and hug the old man but I thought better of it.lol:) What are some of the smells that take you to a memory or remind you of something ir someone? Post a comment I would love to hear! Here are a few of mine.....

WOW! I am so impressed with your blog!! It looks awesome! Your entrys are so sweet especially the ones about your boys,they are so blessed to have a MOMMA like you!Your entry on smells is really good, it had me thinking and it is so true when you smell a certain scent how it takes you back.. I have to say when I smell choc chip cookies baking it reminds me of my mom and when I smell like onions frying it reminds me of my Nana when she would make homemade soup..and by the way I love the smell of fall too, why don't you create that roome spray:) When I smell the scent of a clean smelling perfume I think of you.. You always smell so good! I think it is Happy by Clinique that you wear isn't it? Keep up the good work, I come here everyday to check on you!! Hope to see you soon! Love you!!
p.s. I never put YOU and White Castle together.. there must be a story brhind that?!
