Sights, Sounds, and Smells of My Childhood

spray paint fumes
the sewing machine
days of our lives
bottle caps with picture puzzles on them
deep fried mushrooms with hot grease still inside
the washing machine
cool whip instead of frosting
a warm washcloth on my face
burgers from the "tiger's den"
a dry towel wrapped around my cold, bathing suit clad body
new underwear at christmas
the painting with the heart carved into the tree
an orange, brown, and green knitted blanket with tassels on the end
fresh cut wood from the hardware store
smelly markers
being barefoot on the grass
hot clothes from the dryer
blankie
