I made a lot of cookies with my Grandma, and the smell of vanilla reminds me of making chocolate chip cookies with her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-61570523256684467642008-03-05T09:30:00.000-06:002008-03-05T09:30:00.000-06:00The smell of freshly baked (or baking) cookies.

It reminds me of climbing up into Grandpa's lap in the evening and snuggling my head on his chest just under his chin. We'd sing silly songs or we'd just talk about anything and everything from what he had done that day to what my dreams were. (I didn't become the first woman president like he thought I would though hehe) And, I was still sitting on his lap when I was in my 20s ;-) Some things are just too special to give up!Misty DawnShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815037247940459349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-38466979275681497722008-03-04T18:39:00.000-06:002008-03-04T18:39:00.000-06:00Remember the song 'Turn Me Loose' by Loverboy?

They would stand behind me and guide my arm with little tidbits of advice. I never let on that I could play... it was too much fun! I was 18 at the time and every time I hear 'Turn Me Loose'... I am transported back in time :)Dawn Droverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411044010089842985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-59036400250352560512008-03-04T18:14:00.000-06:002008-03-04T18:14:00.000-06:00Funny pipe smoke is one for me as well ..my Dad sm...Funny pipe smoke is one for me as well ..my Dad smoked a pipe..you always knew when he was around from the aroma of the tobbaco he smoked...I walked into a tobacconist store about a year ago and bought some of Dad's mixture just for nostagia sake..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-86029936851849422352008-03-04T16:30:00.000-06:002008-03-04T16:30:00.000-06:00Fresh baked bread.

Let's see...<BR/><BR/>One of the greatest smells for me is the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree. It reminds me of my childhood. My parents never had a artificial tree until all of us kids were grown. It was always a freshly cut tree that us kids would pick to celebrate Christmas. <BR/><BR/>We lived on a farm and there was forest all around. Each year my dad would get the axe and off we'd go to find the tree us kids wanted. They never chose the tree it was always us kids. It made us feel very special to be allowed to make such and important decision. Sometimes we kids felt sorry for a tree that seemed unloved and we would chose that one instead of a beautiful tree. It still smelled wonderful, and we would lovingly decorate it to be as beautiful as possible. <BR/><BR/>My parents are gone now, but the smell of a fresh cut evergreen always reminds me of them and our Christmastime. It was a magical time of peace, family and the spirit of Christmas.Sandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785788498697004273noreply@blogger.com
