Traveled all the way across the country (mattress on back seat, to get to NY from California after he got out of Vietnam. Still don't know if that was dumb or adventuresome! Love your story.

A friend and I were just talking about trains the other day. We had dinner at a restaurant so close to railroad tracks that it almost shook when the trains went by! We talked about growing up near train tracks and I said every time I smell tar, no matter where it is, I think of those railroad ties. It's not an unpleasant odor to me....just the opposite!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-11305456823312794072017-04-30T23:10:02.801-05:002017-04-30T23:10:02.801-05:00When I walk to the end of my driveway and smell th...When I walk to the end of my driveway and smell the neighbor's horses across the road, I am 12 again, at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, walking through the livestock barns.<br /><br />I can be thinking about a variety of topics, but when that smell hits me, it takes me to the fair.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-72873028793762728912017-04-30T21:40:20.581-05:002017-04-30T21:40:20.581-05:00Yes, Linda, it's true that a memory can pop in...Yes, Linda, it's true that a memory can pop into our minds at any time. Sometimes I welcome them, other times, I don't want to remember something. Guess that's how it is for everyone. Sorry you are having so much rain. Daffodils are out here. They are sweet.

Right now, the wild horses are in trouble. There are so many of them, Westerners are complaining. They have no homes. One more fragment of life finding issues in today's world.
