| One of grandpa's pipes |
Lately, I've been reading about Amsterdam. Many specialty museums are tucked away there. One of these,
Pijpenkabinet – Pipe Museum in Amsterdam, caught my attention. My grandfather came to mind immediately. Cigarettes, cigars and other things that create smoke aren't very appealing to me, but there was something about my grandfather's pipe tobacco that always made me smile. I had a few favorites. Cherry and apple always smelled lovely to me. That scent makes me slow down and think happy thoughts. Now that grandpa is gone, I don't know anyone who smokes a pipe, but once in a great while, I catch the scent and remember.

It's a little odd that a pipe seems different...but I know what you mean. And it is definitely better than the habit of one of my grandfathers and several uncles- chewing tobacco!
ReplyDeleteI once followed a guy on my college campus because he was smoking a pipe with cherry tobacco and I loved the smell! enjoy the memory of your grandfather!
