Thoughts on Peaches

I know Mom, I need to post more pictures of E...

But in the meantime....

What is it about the smell of canned peaches that takes me back to the school cafeteria and reminds me of sweaty, mildewy winter boots and throw up?

That goes for baby food peaches too...I get a wave of nausea every time I pop the top of the jar before settling myself down and reminding myself that I'm in the safety of my own home and there is no rotten winter attire to be seen. I just thank my lucky stars that student teaching is over with. Phew.

You read my mind! You do need to post more pictures of E! But I did enjoy the thoughts on peaches. Isn't it weird how certain smells can transport you to another time and place?

Ha, that is so interesting. I actually really like canned peaches.

That totally cracks me up, I know just what you mean. I think it makes it extra bad when it is associated with the classroom. I won't elaborate here!
