Question of the Day - Tuesday, March 5th, 2024

What smell, image, or sound triggers nostalgia for you? For me, it's the smell of eucalyptus trees. It reminds visiting my grandparents in Carmel Valley, CA.

The smell of anything with cinnamon baking
The sight of a wooded area
The sounds of chains rattling

I can't think of anything...not very nostalgic I guess! There are certain poems and certain songs that give me feels and take me back to some pivotal point in life and bring back memories! Some of them I even memorized!
"I've never made a fortune, it's probably too late now!
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy any how!
And as I go along life's way I'm reaping better than I've sown,
I'm drinking from my saucer 'Cause my cup has overflowed."

Now I'm not so sure I can remember the whole thing...but I know it to hear it and I remember!

Well, that'd have to be my old house in California and the smells it had. Which are undescribable. Oh, and the smell of the computer bins in the garage. I have one easily accessible if you want a whiff.

There are quite a few pieces of music that bring back memories.

Oh, and toss the Windows 7 startup sound there. I miss it.

Even today the smell of Teak wood brings back bad memories, along with the smell of incense.
The night sounds of Katydids and Whippoorwills remind me of Grandparents during the Summer, No AC back then, windows wide open. To this day I remember lying in bed with the window above my head, porch roof just under it and one energetic bird belting out 188 Whip poor Will verses, a record that stands to this day. Images not so much.

Number 3, should we go into it? I'm thinking no.

The smell of old wood. Like old wooden boxes or some old books. Reminds me of my grandparents house. Also, certain songs and sayings. My parents and grandparents would sing or say to me.

I miss going to bed while the sun was up with the AC on (it was right outside my window) while throwing stuffed animals back and forth with my brother (We called that "monkeyshine". Good luck banning that parents!)

We should drag you down here in rattling chains to get some freshly baked cinnamon rolls from CCsGarden. And then we'll take you to a wooded area with plenty of moon light.

Not sure where your mind went but ya take a guess
