MEMORIES

Did you ever have a memory that was triggered by a smell?  I was driving through Townsend on my way home from DW and I caught just a whiff of wood smoke.  MAN - that threw me back to memories of the farm when we had the old wood cook stove and Mama would fix supper on it - always keeping the temperature just right in the oven to bake her cornbread.

I still have periods of being so "homesick" for a home that isn't even there anymore.  The farm house burned down years ago - but I would give anything (almost) to be able to walk through that house one more time.....and see where my Dad's chair used to set, and the chair that Mama always sat in because it was the warmest in the winter time.  I would love to climb those stairs to where my room used to be and just remember all the happy times we had in that house.  We had some sad times too - but the happy far outweighed the bad.

Oh well.....I'm worn out tonight so this will be it for today.

Peace.
