What is that smell?
The other night, on my drive home from work, I was listening to a podcast that I had recently downloaded, called “The Splendid Table.” The host was interviewing a woman who had lost her sense of smell after she had used one of those nasal inhalers for a cold she had. Note to self: NEVER use one of those inhalers! Luckily, the woman regained her sense of smell (after a few months) and so, the story had a happy ending. Anyway, I was really affected by this story; it made me think of all the smells in the world, or at least my world that I take for granted on a daily basis. To name a few:
1. Fresh Christmas Trees

2. Sophia's bedroom ( ahhh baby smell!)

3. Riley after he gets groomed

4. Costa and Costa when he wears Cologne

5. Basil,parsley, and cilantro

6. ROMANCE perfume

7. Lou Malnates pizza

8. Our house

9. Sweet Pea car fresheners

10. Bon Fires in summer and Fire Places in the winter

These are just a few of the smells I love.  What about you?  Any smell that you would miss if you lost your sense?
