Isn't it funny what will strike a cord and remind you of a long lost memory/emotion? Take a simple bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup for instance. It brings up memories of Grandpa and Grandma's "Green House." It reminds me of popcorn made in their air/oil popper and bowls of vanilla ice cream with Hershey's syrup. It's a comforting memory of childhood and simpler times (simpler for me at least!). What sends you back?
I think I'm drooling.
ReplyDeleteIce cream usually makes me think of my dad. He loves ice cream.
When I was at Chad and Nikki's a while back she had given her stuffed animals to the boys and the big purple "my little pony" was laying on the floor, hadn't seen that in years that took me back.Bobby has a few toys too that he had that he's given to his kids. Funny how quickly you can be "back" at that time in your mind so quickly. Fun to "be" there and remember. :)
ReplyDeleteI always think of Grandpa and Grandma when I have that too. Sometimes the green house and sometimes when we would have it sitting at the counter before bed at their house now. Also, when I hear wind chimes, it instantly takes me back to being at Great Granpa and Grandma's at the lake.
ReplyDeleteOh, the wind chimes! I think I'd forgotten about those but I have such a soft spot for wind chimes. That would explain it!
ReplyDeleteYou're in a blogging frenzy! Glad to have you back!
