They Smelled like my School Lunch.

Today, two men walked in to see our production manager. I couldn't help but smell them, and strangely, they smelled exactly like my lunch box of food from elementary school. The smell was SO distinct! I immediately pictured my Lisa Frank lunch box.. with a Peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwich... chips.. and a capri sun. MAYBE a pudding pack too. Sometimes for a snack.. my mom would also include a cored apple stuffed with peanut buter. All the kids were jealous of it and wanted to share. Which made me also remember... the Lunch Notes. My mom always put a small.. simple sticky note in my lunch with a sweet love note written on it. At the time, i was always embarressed of the note and would read them really quickly and stuff them in my pocket, fearing someone would see and make fun of me. It isn't until now that I am older that I can recall them SO fondly. I've kept MANY of the notes and they are hidden in my "Shoebox-o-memories", and I truly treasure them. Thanks for the sweet love notes in my lunch box, mom :)... I love them.
