A long time friend invited us to her recent 60th birthday party. It was a potluck dinner and I volunteered to bring a fruit tray as pictured above. I ended up bringing most of it back home because there was so much other food.
One of the guests who had his 60th birthday party late last year told us he had lost his sense of smell earlier that year. He was having tests and scans done but it didn't sound hopeful for him. They recalled close to that time, having burned some plastic wrap in the microwave and wondered if some chemicals had been released to kill the sensitive nerves. That may not even be the case. Maybe it is age related, in the way that some people become hard of hearing in their senior years.
