I love seeing her china cabinet in my dining room

Other treasures that graced her home
now grace mine.

What I treasure the most is the way
that my house smells
like my Mammaw's home.
No one else can smell it but me.

When I walk in the
front door of my home,
the scent that I smelled all
throughout childhood fills my senses.
front door of my home,
the scent that I smelled all
throughout childhood fills my senses.
French fries frying on the stove,
hushpuppies popping in oil in a skillet,
the smell of the many meals that she prepared can still
be smelled on her old antiques.

I love that I have this
unexpected gift in my home.
I love that the memories
of all of those meals made with care
linger here.
