Favorable "sound" memories from your childhood

[Adenium]

My mom woke us up with the classic "Rise and shine!". She had the old leather moccasin slippers, really well worn, and I remember the sound of those on the slate floor in the kitchen, walking around making coffee etc. Hard to find those slippers these days.

Coffee percolating (yes I'm dating myself) early in the morning.

No, you're not dating yourself as I still use a percolator. After years of drip coffee that never seemed hot enough, we finally found a percolator. What a world of difference! Love my perked coffee.

Quote: I don't mind the temps of a drip coffee maker, but I love the way a percolator would just get stronger and stronger the longer you left it going. Saved coffee and money. I still have one I use on the wood stove in the winter, but use my Bunn the rest of the year.

Need to add smells to the list too. Like coffee percolating, new cut hay, fresh bread cooking, the smell of well oiled leather.

Gravy... The smell of gravy first thing in the morning....

Bacon cooking in the morning.

Whole house fan running at night with the windows cracked open enough to funnel in the air. Magnolia leaves in the spokes of our bikes.

Wow, I got all depressed because I couldn't remember any of the things you guys did...then it hit me...


The bawling of the cows, the calls of Sandhill Cranes, the bellowing of alligators...

The sound of the waves breaking on the shore...

Oh, and smells? The Orange blossoms and night jasmine...

Most of the things we remember?

Had to smile... haven't thought of doing that in years and years.

I think that's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me. I think I love you.
