Funny How Your Brain Associates Things

My mom died back in 1994 and she never wore much perfume, but she did have this orange blossom cream that functioned that way. I haven't ever smelled it except for my mom. I was at an event about two years ago when I smelled that exact same thing - immediately make me think of my mother, and I felt like I was about 13 years old.

Most people don't realize it, but smells can trigger memories better than many other things. Don't know why, but it is true.

I light up a certain pipe tobacco and my boys comment, "Reminds me of fishing for salmon in Kewaunee."

Peace of the Lord be with you.
