"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person. More modern use refers to a person's heyday when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person's youth. Let's just say, we are in our heyday!!
I often comment that Cadence doesn't stop talking. Yet, we see friends out and she completely clams up. I'm sure that there are a few who don't believe that she can even vocalize! Here she is in all of her verbal splendor.... encouraged, of course, by her big sisters! Yes, dinnertime in our house is a serene, calm event!
