Good smells

I was in Home Depot, wandering through the aisles looking for bathroom tub sealer plastic stuff when my nose was inexorably tugged down the corridors towards the wood section. I wandered around the rows for a few minutes, soaking up the sights of all those lovely pieces of wood just waiting to be transformed into something useful or pretty or functional. I remembered going to Beaver Lumber with Dad when i was a kid and how much i loved the smell of fresh cut wood. Just like when Dad used to work on a project in the workshop and would use the big saw (I was always a little terried of it, to be honest! I'd either plug my ears or take off upstairs) But when he was done his cutting, and all the wood shavings lay on the floor in curly little piles, i loved the smell of wood.

Heyyy...last time you went to find that sealant stuff, I came with you, remember?
We have some interesting pictures of me in a shower, you on a riding lawn mower, and something to do with not using wheelbarrow tires for highways.
Fun times.

Beaver Lumber -- I've been there with my Dad too. Ohh, the memories of childhood.
