Sight Sound Smell = Memories

It's September

Isn't it amazing how a quick glance at an image or the faintest smell can trigger a cascade of vivid memories. What do you think of when you see a bushel of apples, or a flat tire, or a pick up basketball game in the street?

Recently, my sister Beth and I were walking near some pine trees. I remarked "That smell!! It reminds me of Camp-of-the-Woods." Her comment was "Everything reminds you of Camp-of-the-Woods."

It's true. Growing up, COW was my favorite place on earth. I can't remember what I did last week but I can still remember the feeling of learning to sail a sunfish when I was 12!! I'm sure the more emotional the memory, the stronger it comes back.

Speaking of memories- are you ready to go back in time? What memories, sights, sounds and smells, do these pictures bring back?
Do they fill you with good feelings or dread?
