Oh, the smell

Tonight I was putting some things away in the kitchen and every so often I would catch a reminiscent smell. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it kept bringing back good feelings and vague memories.

It wasn't until after a few minutes of working in the kitchen that I realized what it reminded me of...Grandpa Willard. Now, I enjoyed the memories a little longer until the detective in me decided that I needed to figure out what the smell was.

I paid attention to my wanderings as I continued cleaning the kitchen. Then, when I was putting some stuff in the pantry, the smell hit me. I looked around...There was a bunch of fruit that Amber had put in the Pantry to ripen.

It all made sense...Grandpa's treasured boxes of fruit and produce salvaged from local grocery store garbage bins.
