Welcome to Litsy!

1. There‘s something about the smell of bacon and eggs that takes me back to lazy Saturday morning breakfasts when I was a kid.
2. I remember playing on the deck my grandfather built at their house, as well as “helping” them pick strawberries.
Thanks for the tags.

I love these questions!
💙My favorite is the smell in the air in the summer before a thunderstorm - it always reminds me of a perfect afternoon of swimming and camaraderie with friends at summer camp before a big storm ended up rolling in.
💙Hunting for faeries in the neighborhood with my BFF (who is still my BFF 30+ years later). We also performed spells in my backyard in a little fort we made under a pine tree.

1) Roses because my grandma wore Tea Rose perfume daily and lilacs because of the large lilac bush by the front door of her house.
2) I was just talking to my dad about this. Rather than a specific memory it was our years in Ephrata. Sledding down suicide hill, riding our bikes all over town, playing out in the dry fields, spending our afternoons at the pool. It was definitely a different time in terms of safety and freedom.

1. The smell of beeswax always makes me think of the Wren Building in Williamsburg, Virginia. I had a lot of classes there in college, and the stairway railings were polished with beeswax. They always smelled so good!

2. One Christmas, when I was 8 or 9, my grandmother gave me a huge Barbie doll wardrobe that she had sewn herself. She was an excellent seamstress, and the clothes were beautiful.

1. For me it‘s the smells of nature…freshly mown grass, crisp air in fall, the smell after it rains….that remind me of certain times in my life.
2. Halloween as a kid. We would trick-or-treat for hours! And get big candy bars. And dump our candy on the floor to separate. So much fun.

Happy Wednesday!

I. The scent of lilacs echoes spring in Minnesota as a child. The scent of peonies is connected to Mom💗

II. Our neighbor Emma had a gorgeous flower garden surrounded by a white fence and beautiful gate-slice of heaven.

1. Dexter is my 2.5 year old pom. He is a cuddle bug, likes to dress up, ride in the car (he has a booster seat on our center console) and loves to be wherever we are.
2. Both. During Vet tech school I read lots of case studies, animal behavior books and vet med text books. I also used to have a huge collection of Berenstain Bears books when I was little.
3. Done

1. Cleo is 11 years old (and has been lovingly catnapped by my parents) and Pixel is about to turn 2
2. Both
3. I recently read The Eyes and The Impossible and loved it

This was a fun rom-com with a lot of depth!

First off, the title is perfect because it sums up the book so well. Two friends, Theo and Evie, get married so Evie (who has a chronic illness) can get good health benefits and together they qualify for Theo‘s rent controlled apartment.

1. Leo the rescue Aussie/corgi and Kevin, my daughter‘s rescue cat. They are the 4th dog and 4th cat in 31 years of marriage. Leo is the most intuitive little fur friend I‘ve ever had. Kevin is a cat in every way 🤣

2. I like animal books that aren‘t sad. Old Yeller nearly broke me as a child.

3. I love All Creatures Great and Small, the book and amazing PBS series.
