 'Our Future is Here' ~ it's truly quite clear
Our tomorrows are forever near
Sieze the day as I like to say

“Your life is now”

You’ll figure out how

To live a life with joy & zest
It'll be allright to
Forget about the rest
‘Don’t Worry ~ &  Be Happy’
   
~ Time ~
Time surely does fly year after year
Our ‘Bucket List’ should be written well & quite clear
At first time passes slowly ~ & then very fast
 Memories are to be cherished regarding the past
Since some we remember
 but some just don’t last
Our past is within our Hearts and our Souls
Some of us stay young at heart
Then we never grow old
The Spirit Within should be your Best Friend
It will be with you until the very end  
Take a moment to reflect on all your past yearWith emotion and thoughts that may bring on tears
Our past will live on as our 'Footprint in Time'
We can reflect on these memories in moments’ sublime
Certainly we will change year by year
At times our memories are not too very clear,
 Alas' regarding our past
Everything was simple it seemed
So simple ~ quite like 'Cookies and Cream'
Back then… Or so we thought
Regarding our future, we needed but dream
Now, look at your life and see what it's brought
Childhood certainly was grand
We now understand
 Our parents were there, close by our side
We looked to them with love and pride
Our town was safe then & we could play free
Love brought on warmth of our family
Our hearts were filled with love & trust
We would always beware & obey
Since it was a given ~ a must  
It was a blissful time in fantasy land
Fairy tales, snails & puppy dog tails
Childhood dreams & fantasies
Weave in and out our memories  
I was the one who climbed the big trees
I ran through fields in grass to my knees
My sister mastered the Tiddily Winks
We all enjoyed the ice skating rink
50's T.V. 
Our first television was black and white back then
The first one blew up to our family's chagrin
My brother was the cutest boy on the block
We played with him & made the house rock
I spilled my Moms’ French perfume
 It saturated her bed in the master bedroom
There was a fascinating glorious world to explore
We would frolic and play, such fun ~ galore
Our days were filled with joyful bliss
This for me was ~ 'A Fond Living Myth'
Nothing can ever take that from me
I had a childhood filled with wonder & glee

Count blessings like children count stars
Celebrate your life!

Persian Salad Olivieh

Image
  Persian Salad Olivieh HISTORY ~  This salad was invented by a French Chef, M. Olivier. He served it in Moscow around 1860. Variations, sometimes called “Salade Olivier” or ”Russian Salad” abound worldwide. Persians love to make this salad with plenty of mayo & they also spread the top of the salad with mayo & veggies ~ & even fresh flowers for adornment.   Salad olivieh on slices of french baguettes can be addicting .  This  Salad Olivieh is slightly different than the traditional one. While all the ingredients are the same, this recipe cuts down the prep time considerably.   Ingredients: 3 medium large potatoes, cooked 3 eggs, hard boiled 2 cups shredded chicken 2 cups frozen peas and carrots ( optional ) 19 oz can of Persian pickles / or Dill pickels of your choice Dressing 2 cups mayonnaise 1/4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice 1/8 cup olive oil salt to taste *pepper (optional for Hammer type Scandahovians)
