Stinky Dad Smell

Some Cider Mill pictures of us a couple weeks ago-
I love my little moneys hangin from a branch. Tristen did it first and as soon as Tanner saw that, he had to do it too!
Julie, Jenny, Jacob and Hayden the boys and I had a great time. Fed some sheep- one head butted Tanner- after we figured out if he was ok- it became funny. where is the video camera when I need it most, AMV baby.
Today at work there was a fire across the street and tons of cops and firefighters everywhere. Everyone was ok, we think and hope. There was a ton of smoke but not sure about how much damage it really did. But anyway, there is a certain smell that fire fighters have and that smell sticks on everything for days. My Dad was a firemen and my Mom used to make him strip his uniform off on the porch before he came in the house to take a much needed shower. I remember waking up knowing that there was a fire the that night and he was ok because he's home and it smells. So I walked outside at work today with complete craziness going on- smoke pounding out of a building - lights flashing everywhere - people running around like mad freaks and I have perma grin cuz I can smell that smell. My stinky dad smell. It's such a gross smell to most but it's so great to me. It hits home- and instantly makes me smile inside and out. then I get in my car to pick Tristen up from school and You gotta friend is on the radio. If there is 1 song ever made that reminds me of my dad its that song and most James Taylor for that matter. I can hear any song from JT and I get that lump in my throat and feel like my Dad is right ther making this better as he always does for me.
Weird, smells and songs do this to me...
I love that stuff. So today for me was think about Dad day. I tried to call him tonight to tell him that I dedicated a day to him- v/m. I'll call again tomorrow.
