Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
I was in line with my 1 year old daughter to get pictures with Santa at Devonshire Mall. She kept leaving the line to giggle and laugh at some teddy bears on display at a nearby store. My friends and I were having fun watching her enjoy life. After a little while of this, an older gentleman stopped next to her, and handed her one of the bears which he then paid for so she could have one. It made her day! She wouldn't let go of it so it ended up being in the picture with Santa as well as drug around the mall. That kind gesture helped myself and my friends remember that there are still really good people out there. To that kind gentleman who reminded us of the true spirit of Christmas and genorosity, you have been spotted. Thank you!!!
I have Identified the suspect wanted in connection to a hit and run on Pelissier on 12:40 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2014. which left a cyclist with a fractured skull, I hope the picture I post of the suspect clears any doubts
A local comedian from Windsor attempts to do 125 push-ups in one hour.
The results are quite funny.
I just wanted to take a moment n thank the cutest old couple for paying for my groceries at the grocery store. Definitely paying it forward . with the money I would spent on food l'm going to pay it forward .THERES STILL HUGE HEARTS IN WINDSOR .
To the guy earlier today that almost cut me off while going through the McDonald's drive thru, so I motioned for you to go. I was pleasantly suprised when I get to the cashiers Windsor to have been told the guy in the previous car said merry Christmas and lunch is on him. Thnk you so much, tht really made my day!!! I will continue and pay it forward to someone! You have been spotted!!!!
Today while shopping at costco there was a couple and their daughter and myself checking out this beautiful snowman, we exchanged a few words about it and you decided to buy one, I made a comment that my husband would kill me if i bought it, not because the money but because i always randomly buy things we dont necessarily need, always! You kind people decided to buy it for me... How sweet! I tried to refuse it but you would not take no for an answer and insisted... I cant thank you enough! It was so thoughtful and such a kind gesture. I always have my kids donate toys to the toy drive so they realize how lucky they are and to teach them that being a good, kind person pays off... Well, i cant wait to tell them about this, I wish i could have them meet you so they cant see a true face of kindness. I will pay it forward. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for the New Year! Thanks again... It looks great in here... xxx
