Do you ever find yourself doing something that it brings back an automatic memory? One of mine is ironing. I was ironing today and I immediately think of my Great-Grandma Post. I used to sit in the basement of Auntie Darlene & Uncle Tommy's house and watch her iron for hours. Grandma was an animal at ironing. The olfactory glands (smell) are very close to the hippocampus (memory) of the brain. Therefore, I smell the iron, I remember Grandma. It's a nice memory to have, especially when it comes to me while I'm doing my chores!
