remember those smells

You know when you smell something that reminds you of a previous time, place, person, or thing?  The funny thing is that awhile back (well when I was younger) I did not think that things would cause a reminiscence of past times.

But they do (and sometimes they happen quite often).

The other day I was at work (4Rivers) and got the whiff of a bucket of water and instantly I was transported back to being in the pool and it being a rainy day.  It was one of those comforting smells that takes you back to your childhood, ya know?  I really like remembering those summer days when it would rain all day and you could smell the rain in the air.  And I did not have that many responsibilities.  Playing in the mud and throwing water balloons.  I am definitely glad I had the childhood that I did.
