Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
My car broke down this morning on Banwell Rd. While waiting for a tow truck with my daughter and grandson , 4 women offered assistance. To these ladies I give my thanks. One asked if we needed a ride. 2 young ladies in a Tecumseh town truck asked if we needed a boost I thank you. The biggest thanks goes to the lady at 919 Banwell who gave us water and a snack for my grandson. Thank you to all. On the other side of the coin, not one gentleman and asked if we needed help. YOU LADIES HAVE BEEN SPOTTED. THANK YOU.😊.

Thank you to the man having brunch with his I assume daughter today around noon at Paul's Kitchen on Dougall. When you got up to leave you wished my husband a Happy Father's Day. Later when finishing our meal the waitress informed us that our meal had been paid for along with the table on the other side of you. This was so very generous of you! Our 3 children were so surprised. I've been trying to teach them about random acts of kindness so to experience it ourselves was awesome. We hope you had a beautiful Father's Day too! Thank you!
I would like to spot A young man named James who works at Bowring in the Windsor Crossing Mall. I want him to know his kindness and willingness to help was not unnoticed. What makes me want to submit this spotting is a couple weeks ago I was shopping at the outlet mall and I decided to go look at pictures for the home I am building. I witnessed him helping a lady who I would describe as a difficult customer. He kept his composure and remained so polite and tried so many different options to help this lady. In the end she couldn't be pleased (I don't think anything would have made her happy) and I watched her exit the store without so much as a thank you for your time. He didn't even miss a beat. He proceeded to help me get my print off the wall and his smile was everlasting. He cashed me out and brought the art to my car without me asking. Some of you may think this is just his job, but as someone who works in the food industry as a server I know how hard it can be to stay calm and cool. Kudos to you. This entire staff has always impressed me. What a great group you are. I will be back!!!

Once a week I do respite work, and Thursday evening as I was at Eastside Mario's with her and an amazing thing happened. We were having a wonderful night, as usual. When it came time for our bills, we were informed that a man, with his family, that was in a booth nearby us had generously paid for our meals. She was overwhelmed with excited and I was deeply touched. You were gone before we could thank you so I hope that this reaches you, but thank you! Your kindness and generosity has reminded me of the wonderful people living in our Windsor community.
Thanks for the people in the pick up truck ahead of me in line at Timmy West on Tuesday afternoon for paying for my coffee....it really brightened up my day! Since there was no one behind me to pay it forward I gave our server half of the money ...she had such a nice positive attitude and was so excited to share your wonderful surprise. Thank You. ..you have been spotted....
I would like to send a very big thank you to the gentleman on the motorcycle that turned around to assist me on Front Road in Lasalle tonight to help momma duck and her babies cross the road. I really appreciate you stopping traffic in the other direction while I stopped traffic in the lane I was in. I believe that had you had not showed up and felt in your heart to help me, I don't believe that this would have been a happy ending. So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. As for the heartless people that tried to go around them and not let them cross, you oughta be ashamed of yourself. Laughing at us like we were stupid. How would you like it if your animal was trying to cross and people did that to them? I sure hope you don't have any animals. However, Mr. Motorcycle fella, again thank you. I wish I would have got your name but you definately deserve this recognition.
I just really need to applaud some awesome people right now. If you or someone you know works for this company Aecon....please express my gratitude. They are doing some work on Roselawn Road and I was taking my son for a walk to hopefully get him to sleep. They saw me coming and turned of their loud machines so I could walk past them and they wouldn't wake the baby or hurt his ears. They did this for me twice. I thanked them of course... One of them even said "we've all been there" 💜💜 So I just wanted to give them a shout out. 😃
