We MISS Y'all

I was walking through Lowe's the other day and this smell hit me like a ton of bricks. At our Huntington Ct. house there was this very inconspicuous looking shrub that I never thought anything of until the first time it bloomed. It is called a "sweet box" or "sweet olive" and it gets tiny fragrant blossoms that have an unmistakable smell. So after that first bloom I went to the nursery on Caldwell and got 4 or 5 more of them and planted them all over.

So as I was walking through Lowe's, all of the sudden I was transported back to a summer day by the pool with all of you. I honestly got choked up. Of course I had to by one of the bushes, and I am sitting out on our new porch swinging in our swing and smelling that one of a kind smell that I will always associate with summer and friends. We really miss our Visalia gang.
