Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Strange Scent

Last night, when I went into my bedroom, it smelled weird. There was a beautifully sweet fragrance. It was like a woman had just been in the room and her perfume lingered. I was confused. Was I about to be mugged by a woman in an evening gown? Was my house being haunted by the ghost of a rich lady?

No, it was just my calamondin orange tree. It’s blooming!

So sweet smelling...

So sweet smelling…

After I knew what the fragrance was, I was delighted. My bedroom smelled like orange blossoms! Mmm… I breathed extra deeply as I went to sleep last night.

    Did you fall asleep to the “Orange Blossom Special”?

      Did you already know that song existed, or did you google “orange blossom song”? Are you a country music listener?

        I know this song because Joanna plays the violin. We have a slightly simplified version of it, and all of Joanna’s violin teachers have made sure that she knows of it.

        I am NOT a country music listener, but I do have to know some country music (and dances) so that I can participate at all of our wedding dances around these here parts.
