Good memory Deb.   No dementia then?     LOL

I remember a lot of them, but I couldn't put the brand name to them

Lucky to be able to associate memories with smells.  I also had an aged blind relative who taught me to use the senses. 

So the senses were appreciated with little distraction in my young life's surroundings and that continues.
