The smell of my Mother after she had bathed and splashed Jean Nate on herself and hugged me and kissed me... The smell of fresh and clean sheets that had been dried out on the clothesline in the fresh air...especially when I was sick and had to get back into freshly made bed after a good, hot bath... The Monday smell of Givelle Water (bleach) throughout the wonderful Italian neighborhood in which I grew up...and the smell of homemade pasta sauces that were brewing all Sunday long... The morning smell of bacon cooking in Mom's iron skillet... Dad's Old Spice... Have I given enough, yet? Needless to say, I'm pretty up there in years...with some of the finest memories of my childhood. Thanks for asking...and bringing back those memories.

The smells of my sister learning how to bake cookies! Unlike today we had a coal range. Sometimes she would get the fire too hot and burn them. Young people today may not understand this but it was a real problem back years ago. It worked out well for me as she gave me the well scortched ones to eat...even today I like the taste of burned cookies! Back then I thought it was normal!
