Okaaaaaay. I just smelled my grandmother's body powder.
She's been dead since Easter 1987 and I haven't seen her kind of body powder since 1987, nor do we own any.

Should I call the "other" John Edwards now?
On second thought, maybe I shouldn't. It's kind of soothing to smell her around here.

She was really religious(in a good way). I wonder if I can get her to ask the Big Guy for a huge favor for me. How would I go about doing that?

This is eerie. I kinda like it though. :)

1. I've had moments like that --
with one of my grandmothers who has been gone since 1989. Mostly its an odor - like you say, powder - that will trigger it.

Kind of like a wink or a hug, isn't it?

3. Yup.
It's so sweet. Sunday Girl, my oldest cat, was also looking behind me earlier when I smelled it like she was looking at somebody. :)

5. I smell cigarette smoke sometimes. No one smokes in our house.
It's either my dad or MIL checking in, I guess. Cigarettes killed both of them.

6. I smell cigarette smoke too. It is the furniture I inherited from my aunt
and a couple of pictures that hung in my in-laws house..reeking from the absorbed toxins.

7. We don't have anything like that in the house.
Which is why it is just strange to get a whiff of smoke!

;)

9. I inherited a box my grandmother kept he makeup and jewelry in. Inside
was a lipstick in a hot pink shade she favored. After she died I used to open the lid and look inside and smile. They should have named that particular lipstick "granny Mac pink".

11. There are just certain subject lines that you never expect to see.
And then you see them.
