Remember When ~

I love it when a smell brings back memories. I have always been able to "see" my memories, just like a flashing picture right before my eyes. (Apparently I have a "Picture" mind).

On Saturday, at the Y, during step class I was suddenly back at the lake with my cousins and my Grandma, probably 5 or 6 years old. One of the towels that I was just about to use to wipe the sweat away smelled just like the towels we used at the lake, the ones that used to lay out on the sand and in the sun for hours -- I had an instant flash of "A Day at the Lake".

Then on Sunday, Sally and I were off to do a little bit of shopping. Baby needed some shoes, especially now that he is walking and LOVES to go outside and garden with his Daddy.

We wondered down the makeup aisle and I spotted this........................................................



 N.Y.C. Roll-On Lip Gloss - Flash back to middle school - instant! The mall bangs, bright blue mascara, and E.S.P.R.I.T. bag. I don't often see something and then get a flash memory. Usually it is brought on by smells. Needless to say, I had to buy it. Just like old times!

Alex also got what he was shopping for - some sweet, light up when he walks, fireman shoes! What a big boy!
