• The smell when you first walk in the door
• The flowers on the glass inset on the front door (Grandma put them in when I was little)
• The creeky staircase I must have walked up a million times
• The front room full of books on history and gardening nobody ever reads
• The laundry shoot! (My family told me that was where Santa came down, because there was no fireplace. I must have looked up it every half hour, every Christmas eve. I still do from time to time.)
• The white toothbrush in the holder my Grandma kept for me for when I visited for probably 10 years.
• My Grandparents half waterbed/ half spring mattress bed.
• Noel and Bibbs
• My Grandmothers jewelry i used to put on and wear to coffee every afternoon.
• The guest room across the hall from their room. (There is NOWHERE I sleep more soundly)
• The shelf of teddy bears in the guest room

(I remember when the white bear with the hat was as big as me!)

• The entire closet filled with board games and puzzles
• The dining room (Where most of the family gather)
• Grandma's kitchen. Everything you could possibly imagine. Always.
