Memories

Describe a time when a smell in the air triggered an old memory. What was the smell? What was the memory?

  1. I was walking around in my house the other day and I smelled strawberries in the kitchen. I immediatly thought of my grandmother! She used to always make me a smoothie after school with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, and it always smelt fantastic. It brought back pleasant memories for me!!! :D

  3. I was at the store and some ordinary man that I didn't even know walked past me and I took in a breath and all of a sudden I started smelling Curve cologne. Thats the stuff that my dad wears, and whenever I smell that kind of cologne I always think of my dad.

  5. The fresh smell of lemons eminated my nose and all of a sudden Cedar Point popped up in my mind. All i can remember is the freshly squeezed lemonade stands scaddered across the park. Ahhh how it felt to have a clean refreshing drink in 90 degree weather...espically in the summer. The cold condencated cup always gave me a sweet feeling upon my lips.

  6. Walking into the huge church,the sound of the flowing baptismal water brought me back to the morning of my baptism. the morning of my baptism was a cold sultry one and being awakened abrubtly was none too pleasant either. In my mothers arms,I remembered being carried by my family to a dark and even colder then the weather, church. there, a priest awaited us and the next thing i knew, an unpleasant feeling was pooring on my head.

  15. My memory was triggered by the smell of dry leaves and heated rubber as my family drove through Texas. I am quite sure this was when my dad almost ran over a armidillo. It was actually kinda funny to hear my mom screaming and my dad yelling as the little critter turned up into a ball. Luckily, the armidillo was not harmed. Good old times from heated rubber and dry leaves..

  19. I was in Philadelphia a couple of years ago to see my second cousins. They live in a row house in the bad part of the city. They live behind this giant land fill. Everytime I go there I remember that whenever I smell that terrible smell of nasty garbage, I know I'm in Philadelphia.

  28. I love the smell of suntan lotion. Every time that I smell any type of suntan lotion or oil it always brings a huge smile to face. A picture always comes to my mind of my three children, Peyton, Madison and Logan, and the times during the summer that we would spend the day at Jungle Jim's. The laughing and even sometimes the fighting that we all shared in.

  32. When I smell a puddle of blood, I remember going back to China and going on a cruise smelled like a lot of iron around me. Everyone around me covered their faces and tried not to throw up but I saw several traces of vomit on the metal floor. But I wouldn't remember this unless it's my own blood. I don't want to go on a cruise at China anymore.
