We'll always have
Paris" is a
famous, nostalgic line from the 1942 film Casablanca,
spoken by Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) to Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman). It
signifies that despite their forced separation; their cherished memories
and shared past cannot be taken away.

I am rapidly approaching
80 years, and I also have relatives and friends who have crossed that milestone,
or will do so in the near future.
All of us have cherished memories
that help us to appreciate the fact that we have experienced a lot more
good things than bad things in our life – and we need to be grateful for that.
I marvel at the
fact that most of us can remember people and events from decades in the past.
I’m nor sure why I
can remember people from grade school and high school – but I can.
The best memories
are the ones that we share with other people, which includes most of our family
vacations and trips to places best described as “hither and yon”
If you really want
to travel down memory lane, Barbara Streisand can help.
Memories is
a compilation
album by American singer Barbra Streisand, released
in 1981. It is primarily a compilation of previously released material, but
includes three newly recorded songs. First released on Columbia, it was
re-released under the CBS imprint in 1981 with four additional tracks.
Two brand new recordings "Memory"
and "Comin' In and
Out of Your Life" were included and both released as singles.
"Comin' In and Out of Your Life" was the most successful of the new
singles, peaking at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in
the US. The album also included a previously unreleased solo version of
"Lost Inside of You" which had appeared on her 1976 soundtrack album A Star Is Born as
a duet with Kris
Kristofferson
The album was certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA, reaching number 10 on the US Billboard 200.
In the UK, where it was released
as Love Songs, it reached number 1 on the UK Albums Chart for
nine weeks (seven of them consecutively and it became the best-selling album of
1982 there, the first album by a female performer to achieve it). The album was
certified platinum in the UK (prior to multi-platinum awards being given), and
6× platinum in Australia.
According to the liner notes of Streisand's retrospective box set, Just for the Record, the album also
received a record certification in the Netherlands and in Switzerland.
The album won Brit Award for British Album of the Year as
Best-Selling Album at the 1983 Brit Awards. It sold
over 10 million copies worldwide
Here are a few
songs from that album:

The way we were -
Barbara Streisand was
born on April 24, 1942, which means that she is now 84 years old.
She likely
remembers the way she was a long time ago, and those memories are treasures to
be cherished
Tomorrow is Mother’s
Day. If you know someone who is a mother, help them celebrate the day.
That memory will
linger for years to come.
