I was reading a blog that really touched me today. Kathleen at : http://eggsinmypocket.blogspot.com/ She was baking an applesauce cake. The smell had her remembering other times when the cake was baked. It triggered some memories for me. When I was writing in her comment section, I was putting some Avon Vita Moist lotion on my hands. I always keep it around. I have lots of it. It reminds me of my grandmother-Grandma... So today, I lathered up my hands often and smelled Grandma... Thank you Kathleen!
It is funny how smells and sounds trigger memories. I always think of my dad when I smell Aramis Cologne.. or hear Three Dog Night or Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). I was cooking a big supper tonight.. Meatloaf, Creamed Potatoes, Fried Green Tomatoes W/Squash, .... Made me think of going in the back door at Aunt Judy's. Her house always smell like she is cooking up all these great vegetables from their garden! But... Boy, am I tired from all that stove cooking!!! I have decided that I might share some things in the next couple of post about my great family!!! I know some of them read my blog... So ya'll (family members) don't just scared, nothing bad or SECRETS !!! Like we have any secrets.... lol Like. I will have to show my brother off.. He has lost a lot of weight. YES I am jealous !!! I will throw in some stitching news and pictures too. I am working on the Heirloom Afghan...

I have scents associated with people in my family too. Like oatmeal cookies baking remind me of my grandmother because she always seemed to be making them or her house smelled of them. Gardenias remind me of my mother. The smell of grass reminds me of my father.
