Saturday felt like Sunday.

My main accomplishment of the day was a salad.

A huge salad. Romaine, arugula, 

Persian cucumbers, green onions, 

orange & yellow mini peppers,  cherry tomatoes,

avocado, hard-boiled eggs,  Colby-jack cheese

tossed with a creamy sesame dressing. 

I should have taken a picture, it was that pretty.

But, I didn't know it was going to be mentioned in the blog.

Rabbit rabbit! Anyone else grow up saying that? 

I always heard if those are the first words you say at 

the beginning of a new month, you’ll have good luck. 

Like so many charming superstitions, it’s not really clear 

where the custom came from. But who’s going to say 

no to starting the new month off on the right foot? 

A rabbit’s foot, even. Did you say rabbit, rabbit?

A feel-good story ...

I can use one, can't you?

Before Marilyn Soriano died, she put her voice into a teddy bear. She gifted her daughter, Mara, the custom-made Build-a-Bear made to sound and look like her, glasses and all, shortly before her death from cancer last year. But last week, the teddy bear, who says "I love you, I’m proud of you, I’ll always be with you" when squeezed, was stolen from Mara during a hectic move. She lost a book of blank checks, her citizenship card and some electronics, too, but the bear was her most valuable possession.

Mara's pleas for the bear’s safe return were widely heard. 

Actor Ryan Reynolds offered $5,000 for the bear’s safe return, no questions asked. A Canadian TV personality and a peanut butter company chipped in money too, raising the total reward to $15,000 — and within a few days, Mara had her bear back, voice box intact. She said two "Good Samaritans" returned the bear after they found it at a park nearby."It means just everything to me honestly," she said. "There was a part of me that thought I'd never see it again."

Just because ...

 

Smiles for Sunday ...
