So the defining characteristic of Grandma's house is the way it smells? Interesting! Did your grandmother's house smell like baked goods? It probably did at Thanksgiving and Christmas -- not sure about the "off season" dates. XO
I suppose Grandma Dobson baked for us. The back porch (entryway) could be a little funky smelling all right. In the fall she kept a box of apples at the bottom of the stairs and that was aromatic -- pleasantly so. The same perfumy / musty comment might be made of Grandma Bennie's house, I believe. People in the humid South battle mildew -- I mean, they have to be on their toes about it. KW
No, no, a grandmother's house doesn't HAVE to be white, but it DOES have to smell like baked goods. (Note the pie in the window) MMMMM!

ReplyDeleteMy grandmother's house smelt kind of perfumy and a bit musty in the nooks. But it seems like on most occasions there was cooking/baking of some kind.
