My Dragonfly And Me


If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!


By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone


On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...


And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...


Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Yeah been that kind of week!

Oh well have a good breakfast and then stop by the shop and we’ll add a turbo tot he lawnmower and a radio control for the incredible experience of laying in a hammock and looking through a pair of reality goggles, you’re cutting your grass, chasing the neighbor’’s cat, and scaring the hell out of that smart-ass paperboy with the new mower from hell!

Looks absolutely yummy for Breakfast but at the same time a cardiologist’s nightmare. Is there anyway to prepare a lower calorie version of this meal?/Just Asking - seoul62..........

Sorry! I just cook good tasting food. I have a recipe for Outbacks’s “Walkabout Cheese Soup” that'll blow you're cholesterol out into orbit!

I cook with butter, whole milk, & real cheese; my cholesterol is great!

You are a great cook. I guess it is all about portion control. When the family has breakfast out, I have tried sausage gravy on biscuits, it is delicious. My Mother’s breakfast specialty was Chipped Beef on Toast, absolutely delicious!!!!!!!./Just Asking - seoul62.......

The recipe I use for Chipped Beef on Toast is actually a Navy recipe, that I modified for my own use (although I did a little “modifying” of it when I was cooking in the Navy!...LOL!)

It WAS you who marinated the beef first in single malt wasn’t it!!! You were my unit’s hero, we scarfed down the stuff with gusto!

What was your modification? Give kudos to my Mother-(Japanese) who mastered this recipe under the tutor of my late Father-(Irish descent), Ex-Army - He taught her the recipe, even though she found it really strange-(she is coming from a diet of fish, rice and vegetables)./Just Asking - seoul62......

I'll scan in the recipe & send it to you.

Basically, I sauteed chopped onions & fresh chopped garlic in the butter used for the white sauce.

Good morning, everyone!

If life takes you by surprise
jump on a slide and ride
if your fuel pump takes a dive
get on shanks mule and hie
life comes at us fast, or so it is told
so, dig in those toes and hang on for the ride.
