Happy news. First edition.

I didn’t have to look hard to find some happy news, so I thought I’d share some of that good stuff with you. Here goes:

Tonight (August 13th), if you look into the night sky between 11pm and 3am, you might see the Perseid meteor shower. The bright specks that streak across the sky are tiny pieces from the Swift-Tuttle comet, which orbits the sun every 133 years! (From @Nasa’s Instagram stories.)

A few days ago, the women’s lacrosse team from Kenya didn’t have cleats when they played Israel’s team. Soon after the game, the Israeli team surprised the Kenyan team with brand new cleats, just because! (From @OnHerTurf on Instagram.)

I found free lollipops at my bank! They’re exactly like the ones I used to enjoy when I was a kid. It was such a treat when the bank teller offered one to us. I discovered that you can buy a big box of these online. Try Staples, and look for “Yummy pops from Washburn Candy Corp.” (Fun fact: they are made in the USA.) There’s just one problem: what flavor to chose? Lemon? Red cherry? Purple grape? Green lime?
