Aromatic memory

It amazes me how much I can get done when I get a rare good night’s rest. Woke up this morning, immediately began to write. When I got to a stopping point, I went to take a shower and decided it was FINALLY time to empty and clean my bathroom cabinet. I was kind of dumbfounded by how many things had expirations dating back to 2013. I thought I purged all that when we moved, but apparently I was wrong.

It’ll never look this organized again.


Second shelf from the bottom: I love body sprays and for that reason, Ross is a good place for me to shop because of their deep discounts. I’m not sure where I got that one little bottle up front with the orange top–Sunflowers Exhilarators with Sunflower and Orange Body Mist Spray–I hadn’t previously recycled the bottle because I wanted a photo first for sentimental reasons. I bought that and kept it in my mother’s last room in a comfort home. Every day when I visited her, I spritzed it once because it cheered us both. That was in 2008. Over the years, I’d give it an occasional spray, and it finally went empty last year.

Now the bottle has been recycled, and I have a photo to remember why it mattered. =)

  1. I miss Dorothy every day. She was such a big part of the boys lives growing up. I know how much she loved Aaron, I am sure they are together now, smelling the sunflowers.

    1. She LOVED it when you and the boys came to visit. It always made her happy. I can totally see Aaron sitting next to a field of sunflowers with her and listening to some of her many stories. He was so good to her as her health was failing. Lots of love there.
