| 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!
