When you mentioned the aroma of the perfume and how it reminded you of your grandmother, it brought to my mind that my grandmother always used Jergens hand lotion and that the smell of it brings her to my mind.

Just need to get them listed somewhere and advertised. My grandmother was the 'Avon Lady' in her small town. My mom also sold it. The memories of them are good!leslielawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989388855284668564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-59704263589782519582010-01-07T06:08:46.303-08:002010-01-07T06:08:46.303-08:00Jack, thank you for dropping by and for your kind ...Jack, thank you for dropping by and for your kind words.Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-72480072871291874582010-01-07T03:16:03.870-08:002010-01-07T03:16:03.870-08:00What a wonderful family story to tell for generati...What a wonderful family story to tell for generations. <br /><br />My father used to collect avon bottles.
