(It's a brave thing you and Louis Dean have been doing, caring for the quads! You have much more energy and patience than I!)<br /><br />If you have Yankee Candles nearby (I think Cracker Barrel carries them) you will have to check out that scent. It's lovely.<br /><br />When I wrote down my Christmas memories years ago, that's just how it worked. I started writing, just jumped in with the first memory that came to mind, and before I knew it the memories came flooding back. I'm sure I will find it the same with my "everyday" memories, if only I can find time to write some down.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-76881382453479222532016-10-13T12:14:32.983-04:002016-10-13T12:14:32.983-04:00I'm glad you can smell the apples all the way ...I'm glad you can smell the apples all the way from Idaho, Marilyn! How nice that you have orchards nearby.

Yes, grafting is such a fascinating process. And isn't it so nice that your daddy had a tree with a branch from one of his grandfather's trees on it! Does the orchard still exist and is it still in the family? If that tree is still standing, you ought to make sure your grandchildren see it. Think of the history that branch has seen!<br /><br />Yes, you probably should be writing down your memories. I have a few here on the blog, and I did an entire Christmas memory book for my grown kids and their families one time. But there is so much more I should write down before I forget it!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-47629547969229588042016-10-13T12:09:21.179-04:002016-10-13T12:09:21.179-04:00Vee, I'm happy you could smell the apple barn ...Vee, I'm happy you could smell the apple barn aroma. It was wonderful ... wonderful. Wish I could bottle it. The Macintosh candle comes a close second. I imagine you can find some little shop near you that carries Yankee Candles, so you can give a Macintosh votive a sniff and see what you think.<br /><br />I had to go look on your Pinterest board to find that graphic. Glad you had the name of the artist. (You didn't pin it from me.) Now I will have to see if I can find more of her art. I had bought those note cards -- I think a pack of 8 or 10 for $1 at a Christmas Tree Shop.

I did take Amber and Benjamin when they were young and we homeschooled. I need to plan it an dwrite it down on the calendar and then DO it!!<br />Yes, once you start writing down memories, it will probably trigger others you thought you had forgotten. That's the way it works with me!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-62067799956968533952016-10-13T10:18:11.967-04:002016-10-13T10:18:11.967-04:00Thank you, Stephanie for the visit and the sweet c...Thank you, Stephanie for the visit and the sweet comment.

I will have to check out that Yankee candle fragrance, it sounds delightful! I have never ordered apples to put up, but since we live close to orchards, I am thinking about going and picking some this weekend. :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-30674659176299030162016-10-12T09:33:11.030-04:002016-10-12T09:33:11.030-04:00My daddy had an apple orchard so we did not have t...My daddy had an apple orchard so we did not have to go far to get apples!! We dried them every year so we would have apples for pies and cakes in the winter. My daddy had a tree that had a branch from one of his grandfather's trees on it. I used to love to watch Daddy graft limbs on his trees. And like you, I probably should write down some of those memories.Arlene Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845514896764280013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-38410208463706386342016-10-12T09:31:34.737-04:002016-10-12T09:31:34.737-04:00My dear Mrs. T, what a delightful post.
