What I'm Reading This Week #37

Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you.  I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal.  We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about.  Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps.  Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor.  I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing.  I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box.  So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....

Hump Day Poll: Ahhh


What smell brings back great memories?

For me, it's usually things that remind me of Grandma.  A beef roast cooking, or White Diamonds perfume.  Sawdust reminds me of early childhood as my dad and brothers were always building something.  The air in Hawaii has a distinct smell to it that reminds me of our early trips.

How about you?

  1. This sounds funny but when we were on a walk and smelled the lawn spray fertilizer, it was the same stuff people in my old neighborhood used when I was a kid and it instantly took me back to the days of walking around doing my paper route in the summer. I also agree with the smell of Hawaii - can't beat that!

  2. Mom's beef roast, onions and garlic sauteeing, reminds me of my youth. The scent of pine (true pine trees, not the perfumed up scent that overwhelms) always reminds me of the North woods and is an instant smile-inducer. Cranberry,banana, and pumpkin breads remind me of falling leaves and fireplaces. Happy sigh... Great question!
