It was an Estee Lauder scented soap that he had put into his travel toiletry bag and he'd forgotten about it. When I smelled the soap, a wave of emotions came over me and I bursted into tears. It had the most wonderful scent.<br /><br />Those poor guys working on the hot asphalt and baking in the hot sun have to be tough. I feel sorry for them.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment about my water poem Rick.<br /><br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-39751241908292351222017-07-07T22:15:17.805-05:002017-07-07T22:15:17.805-05:00Interesting how smells bring back vivid memories m...Interesting how smells bring back vivid memories more than almost anything else.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-25192198939280825852017-07-07T21:19:00.724-05:002017-07-07T21:19:00.724-05:00Argh!

Two major streets I travel each weekday are being resurfaced, and I feel so awful for those men being baked out there.<br />(Little wonder your boss suffered hangovers!)Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.com
