Yesterday I had three de ja voo's (no idea of the spelling). The first happened as I was walking across the park lawn. It was the smell of the fresh damp grass...but it was a cold smell. How is that possible? I have no idea where that memory goes back to, the feeling was there.
Then there was a relatively new one. I picked up Tim Horton's to take to our neighbors and it was the smell of the hot coffee in the paper cups. They would bring us coffee often last year for shoveling their side of the driveway. So that was that.
Then on the way home from Wal-Mart...yes, I still love that store...there was a song on the radio that used to play while I was working late at night at the Mr. Singh's India in Glasgow. It really is not a very good song morally, but it brings back lots of memories of Glasgow, so I really kind of like it. I was trying to find a small sample to put on here, but I have no idea what the name is, or even exactly what it sounds like. Pretty shocking I know.

Most of the time I love those moments when something triggers a memory. Most of the time it is a song that brings me back to the place where I was listening to it or something like that.
You come up with the best blogs Kryna: Yes, things do come back to memory, why, I don't know-what triggers it- I don't know, but doesn't it give us something to think about. You sure had some unusual ones though.
I have that all the time. Fresh mown grass reminds me of cutting alfalfa in Iowa...and I just heard a song from the 70's on the radio the other day...brought me right back to the halls of Valley Chr. High School (oh help) Just little reminders from God about how He has blessed us in the past, I think.
I love those moments that bring back good memories. They always bring a smile to your face! I also loved your McDonalds story. Not sure what would possess someone to start a habit such as that but makes for a good story years and years down the road I guess!
I think smells and sound do bring back the best memories of all.
