Glad it found its way back to you. Some buddies lost it with covid and it still hasn’t returned.
Tell you what, I was able to do so many dirty jobs. Even pulled a dead possum out from under my uncles house; never smelled a thing.
This is why you’re such a winner; you find the platinum lining in the lead box.
I would feel like a shell if I couldn’t smell pizza, roses, beeswax, or my husband after being in the apiary all day.
