I used quotes in the title because “they say” is something that we’re all hearing more and more and I just can’t figure out who “they” are. Several years ago my brother and I were chatting and he said … “well they say”…. and I asked … “exactly is who is they” … and we laughed and laughed and moved on to the next silly subject.
But…now I’m gonna say “they say” or better yet “I’ve read” that of the five senses the one that invokes more memories is scent/smell.
It’s known in my family and friends that I was abducted by aliens and my memories sucked out of my brain…okay, not really but I do have a horrible memory.
Anyways…
I was on my way to the post office, stopped at the top of the driveway to pull in the trash cans, and I was flooded with a fragrance/smell that immediately took me back to when we lived in a trailer park in Hubert NC, I could close my eyes and see the inside. I have to say it was very emotional, but in a good way.
You will never guess what the fragrance was…
Yup…kool-aid. I’m not sure what plant/tree it was that put this smell off but…WOW…it was crazy how strong it was. Click here to read the story on Kool-aid
I’m not sure how often we had kool-aid but I do remember drinking it in the kitchen of our home. I doubt I’ll have kool-aid again in my life but ya never know…I might get a wild hair and pick up a package for old time sake.
Until Next Time
