I walked by and I smelled laundry drying somewhere and immediately I thought of Aunt Mel's (before the remodel on the bathroom and the hamper shoot was still there). It smelled just like that. And I thought instantly of Ryan; we were played Legos on the floor in his room (Ryan you remember that?). I was so impressed with the fight noises you made with your lego guy. Oh the things you remember and how smells can bring them back.
Reme and I were talking today about the garage smell. That, in my opinion of course, its the most homey smell I can imagine. That and the occasional whiff of Marlboros. Mom's Beautiful perfume, and Olay lotion. Sunscreen and summer. Cherries and Chelan. That heat. Gorgeous.
Can't wait to be home with all of you.

You should like standing around Chris, he smokes marlboros..
Fragrance is a strong sense and triggers many memories. I love the smell of baby oil on a new baby, chocolate chip cookies baking, lavender, lilacs, and roses. Good memories evoked...
hmmmm, little ones fresh from their bath, fresh washed hair, books, borders, coffee (especially the early morning smell)
Miss you Whitney girl, can't wait to see you and give you a big hug. I am so proud of you stepping right up to help Suzy out. You are the best.
