| Spinach Pear Blue Cheese |
This past Thursday morning I woke up and started getting ready for my day. At 9 am the phone rang, it was a good friend from Florida. I was initially alarmed, thinking something was wrong with her family. She apologized for the early call but her daughter had seen this message on Facebook that a former dance teacher had passed away the night before. My daughter L had attended her dance school as a little girl for many years as well. She wouldn't have been more than 50 years old, with 2 university aged daughters. L told me she had noticed this teacher's Facebook statuses making mention of heart problems she had been having for months prior to her death.
I went to the local drug store as it was senior Thursday. I got 3 bags of milk at the discounted price, as we drink a lot of milk. The cashier asked 'are you 55?' I thanked her for asking and assured her that I was. It was the beginning of a good day!
Next, I went to the grocery store. The sweet cherries were on sale. I picked a bag out only to be stopped by an Asian man. He said 'they are putting fresh ones out, get those!' I thanked him as I am not observant in that way, and made sure to get a fresh bag.
Finishing my groceries, I looked up into a blue summer sky and noticed a plane flying high above the puffy white clouds. Then I saw a bird flying up into the pretty picture.
Then I went home and made a spinach pear blue cheese (Roquefort) salad as part of my lunch! I had forgotten how delicious this classic combination is.
Some days are like that, mostly happy!

Glad you had a happy day and got a lovely compliment! Valerie
Sounds like a wonderful day indeed. Love those interactions you had with the cashier and the man in the cherry aisle.
Can I please have a huge bowl of that delicious looking salad?
Happy weekend, Christine!
darker color cherries are often harder to spot for freshness
Good for you, noticing all the little positives.
Yes, mostly a happy day. That's very sad about the teacher. Much too young to pass away.
It's good that the rest of the day was nice to off set the bad news about that dance teacher's death.
Sad of your teacher Christine.
But im glad you had a nice day!
What a delicious looking salad! I'm sorry to hear about the dance instructor.
other than the early passing of your daughters dance teacher you had a beautiful day, and I love that you shared with us,
Very sorry to hear about your daughter's dance instructor. Sad, and she was so young.
Mostly a great day, though, and your salad looks especially yummy! :)
Life, it happens, we cope...
I like it so much how you have described your mostly happy day. And I love the photograph of the delicious salad! I think this is such a delicious combination. I never tried it but I will try soon. Many thanks for sharing!
