A run down of some Feel Good Friday stories this week…
1. A dog in Upstate New York recently had a litter of six puppies . . . and started nursing an orphaned kitten alongside them.
2. A study found that regardless of politics, most Americans are willing to spend more AND go out of their way to buy something from a small business instead of online.
3. A farmer in Scotland carved the word “HOPE” into a huge field of sunflowers to lift people’s spirits and raise money for local charities.
4. In 2007, a six-year-old girl from Florida was abducted by her father three days before Christmas. He took her to Mexico, and the mom never saw her again . . . until last week after the girl tracked the mom down on social media. She’s 19 now. They met up at the border in Laredo, Texas on Friday, where authorities confirmed it really was her daughter. Last we heard, police in Mexico were still looking for the dad.
5. England’s version of the Tour de France wrapped up on Sunday. Now a clip is trending online, because a kid started racing them. He was in full cycling gear, so he’s obviously a fan. One of the guys in the race pulled up next to him and gave him his water bottle as a souvenir. (Here’s the video.)
6. America’s oldest living World War Two vet just celebrated his 112th birthday on Sunday. His name is Lawrence Brooks, and he lives in New Orleans. He got married after the war and had five kids. Now he’s got 13 grandkids and 22 great-grandchildren. His advice is have faith, and be nice to people.
7. A 101-year-old woman in Maine named Virginia Oliver works on a lobster boat and has no plans to retire. She’s been catching lobster since she was eight years old, and the boat she works on is named after her. Her late husband named the boat “Virginia” years ago. Now she works on it with their 78-year-old son, Max.
