This was lovely, Joe. I love the scent of baking bread...and, as a fellow boomer, I love the scent of memories of those amazing years.

Wow. You’ve proven with lyrical purity that yes, the smell and our memories are closely intertwined. You’ve woven and braided both with such relatable life experiences that I was ready to tear into the bread for more nourishment than I need, yet I felt like I’d hold onto it to keep me warm, and I wanted to use a nearby napkin to wipe tears.
