Memories and S'mores

I have quite a memory.  I remember birthdays and anniversaries.  I can look around my house and remember when I received gifts and who gave them to me/us.  My memory serves me well at work and around the house.  It also gives me wonderful reminders of those I love. 

Tonight, while grocery shopping, a recipe came to mind that my Aunt Nancy used to make when we had camp outs at her house in the summer.  I picked up the four ingredients and whipped it up tonight. 

I love how memories attached to things, songs, places, etc can take me back in time, especially when it means remembering special people who are no longer with us. 

In memory and honor of my Aunt Nancy, I will enjoy the frozen s'mores in my freezer with my kids who never had the privilege of meeting her.
