This is a marvelous post, Nancy. In addition to your tour, I noticed the gingerbread style trim above the window over the sink. It's so 50s and 60s. And as for smells..... yes, all those things, but in my youthful memories, there was also the smell of ham baking with cloves stuck into the surface. My grandfather didn't like turkey so my grandmother always did both ham and turkey for every Thanksgiving and Christmas so he'd have his preference. Then there were pies: pumpkin, mincemeat, pecan, sometimes apple. My father likes Marionberry pies too, but they make me think of the disgraced D.C. mayor Marion Barry.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-15233188673101660282010-11-21T01:02:10.166-05:002010-11-21T01:02:10.166-05:00Amazing.
