Scents are seldom forgotten. The merest wisp of a fragrance can bring a rush of memories of an old flame or perhaps a very old memory of Grannie's kitchen.

Very true, scents can bring back all kinds of memories, good and bad although the good ones are definitely preferable.

Debby, try e-mailing me again but not through clipmarks. That could be the problem. I've e-mailed my daughter things that she has tried to forward to her friends and she can't. I guess with clipmarks you can only pass along once.

Debs, with my luck (and bad sinuses) I'd probably end up snorting the butterfly.
Then I could tell you how it tastes.

@Tany,
I emailed you through my personal email but I don't know why you aren't getting it, I'll try again, and just label it test and see if you get it. Dagnamit!
@Bear: I remember how the sheets smelled after my Mom hung them out to dry on the clothesline . . . it was such a wonderful childhood memory.
@Kappy, worse things could happen I suppose

That's a good smell, sheets on the line. Have you ever seen and smelled freeze dried sheets? It's really different in a good way.

Every time I smell Dove soap, I think of my grandmother...

Great clip - song dedicated to Debby...

Unfortunately, not many remember Dolly Parton just for the song!

'Love is like a butterfly,
As soft and gentle as a sigh,
The multicoloured moods of love are like its satin wings.
Love makes your heart feel strange inside,
It flutters like soft wings in flight,
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.'


Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

I feel it when you're with me
It happens when you kiss me
That rare and gentle feeling that I fee...

Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.

@Tany,
No, I haven't; what's the scent like?

When the sheets are brought in from the line on a freezing cold day they're stiff as a board (careful you don't break them) Stand the up against the wall. Wait, it doesn't take long, They collapse and the wonderful scent of outdoors puffs into air. A scent of summer in the middle of winter.

Wow Tany,
That sounds so utterly delicious.
