It amazes me how certain smells can take me back to a certain time or place...
Here's my favorite (and peculiar) smells and memories...
-Fresh Tar: Reminds me of Six Flags
-Super Bubble Bubble Gum: Sunday mornings on the Joy Bus in Electra, Texas
-Tabu Perfume: A hug from my Great-grandmother, Wylie
-Fried biscuits shaped into donuts: Sunday mornings before worship at Grandma and Pa's church in Electra, Texas
-Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil: All those summers laying out by the pool
-Perm: My granny's beauty shop behind her house
-Moth balls: Grandma's toy closet in the spare bedroom in her old house in Electra. (Grandma is a firm believer in the power of a moth ball!)
-Lake water: All those summers at Lake Diversion
-Old Spice: A hug from my dad. (Not sure if he still wears Old Spice!)
-Fresh Mint: Our first house in Amarillo. There were mint plants on the side of the house.
-Mountain air: Many summers at Pine Spring Christian Summer Camp.
-Noxema: Sunburns
-Apricots: Mom's apricot pie
This list could probably go on and on. It's amazing though how a certain smell can take you back years! Love those memories!
