My kids took me out for my Birthday yesterday at Eddy's Mediterranean Bistro, absolutely amazing place!!! This little Bistro, if you haven't been to it, you gotta try it!!!! It is on Tecumseh rd./ Mercer at 420 Tecumseh rd. parking is in the back, with a back entrance as well. It may not appear super nice from the outside but, inside there is a casual whatever section and then a section for the more fine dining experience. The service is amazing, the food is truly amazing and awesome, I tried many things that hmmm I never thought I'd ever eat..like fattoush salad (wow) and garlic spread!! Lol Never in my life did I think garlic spread could be so good but, I guess when it's freshly made to perfection, it's absolutely terrific. What can I say my whole Eddy's Bistro experience was wonderful!!! The chicken and the beef kabobs, I believe are the best I have ever had in any restaurant. The owner Eddy, makes sure that you are well taken care of!!! He's a really nice guy, very cheery and friendly and all round has a very pleasant personality!!! Dare say, I'm so glad a few my kids knew of this gem of a restaurant!!! I will definitely be telling people about it and most definitely going back real soon!!!! Thank you Eddy, for the most amazing dining experience I've had in quite a while. (since Goderich a few years ago) Great amazing food, incredible service, a terrific time with my kids, made for an awesome Birthday!!! Keep smiling Eddy!!!

To the man who stopped at the corner of South Cameron and Tecumseh to help that boy with his motorized wheelchair, we need more people like you in our city. It looked to me as if this boy rolled on to the road a little. This man got out of his car to help him back on the sidewalk. He was holding up quite a few cars. I'm happy to see he took the time to show kindness. I hope all the cars being help up were patient and learned something about taking time to help others like I did today.

On Sunday afternoon during the Earth Day celebration at Malden Park, my wife got her van stuck in the muddy grass.
When I arrived, I saw it almost 90 degrees the wrong way. We enlisted the help of some firefighters who were there as part of the festivities. They gave it a valiant effort with pushing assistance but unfortunately, the van was stuck too deep.
It was a pretty stressful and embarrassing situation as people were glaring and discussing us on their way out all the while dealing with our 3 little guys.
As I tried to call up some tow companies, a kind man in a SUV told us he can help tow us out after he goes home and gets his equipment.
Sure to his word, he returned and helped not only us but the car next to us who were also stuck.
Another gentleman came by to assist us with directing traffic on the other side.
We are very grateful for the kindness of these people today who volunteered to help and get us out of that jam.

Thank you to the lady at the mall today who went out of her way to make my day a little better i work construction and sometimes you think alottttt while working. I was having a terrible day i went outside for a smoke because my day was so bad (i never take unscheduled breaks) i was squatted down next to the garbage so i would be unseen (didnt want to get in trouble) she told me i could sit on the bench with her but explained my situation to her she wanted to cheer me up and could see i was sad she told me and its tough working with men And that she admired me. She said that she wants her daughter to look up to a woman like me thank you for boosting my ego you really made my day and made me appreciate myself a little more. I hope i see you again. You were wearing all black dark hair a little bigger frame i think you were working in the mall you are an amazing person.
Hope you stumble across this one day

I'm writing you because I'd like for my co worker to be recognized for his generosity. I was speaking to a good friend of mine today Mr. Antoni Tambunan and he mentioned that there are more people that are in need of the strike pay than him and that he would like to donate his check this week of $250.00 to his fellow co workers on the picket line. This action of kindness didn't come as any surprise to me, if you knew Tony you'd know that he's incredibly thoughtful and generous to others. Tony said that it's his time to give back to fellow casino coworkers because they all supported him and raised money for his family when the devastating tsunami destroyed his family in Indonesia. I cannot speak highly enough about this man, he truly has a heart of gold. Tony is a Guest Service Representative at Caesars Windsor, he takes pride in what he does for a living and does it well. He is the first Canadian to win a Recognition of Service Excellence Award (ROSE) during the annual Detroit Metro Conventions and Visitors Bureau ROSE Awards banquet. At 4 o'clock today at the Unifor Local 444 Union trailer located on Glengary Street he will make his donation to the people that have given to him in the past, it's his way of saying thank you for everything his co workers have done for him.

I was in line to pay for my food at the U and I heard the clerk say to multiple people that their meal was covered. When I got there, she said this to me as well; she said a student has a lot of money left on their uWincard and decided to pay for people's meals to get rid of it. This act of kindness goes SUCH a long way, especially during the stressful season of exams. Whoever you are, thank you for making my day.

My brother- in- law James Kocsis (an ex Windsor Fireman) had his funeral yesterday 16 April, 2018 at Windsor Chapel on Tecumseh Road East, Windsor, Ontario.
During the procession to the gravesite, I was absolutely amazed at the number of cars, trucks, business vans, and taxis etc. that pulled over to the side of the road along the way. I have not seen that amount that paid their respects in years. They stopped along Banwell Road, and Highway 42 for the long trip.
So Windsor and Tecumseh people are obviously very respectful and courteous. I was amazed and thankful.
So to all those that stopped and waited, my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Yesterday my son asked me what kind of clothes they wore in Ancient Egypt. We talked about it, and it got me thinking about my high school history classes.

I graduated from Riverside in 2003, and my history teacher for most of those years was Ms. Siddle. She was such an amazing teacher. She really knew what she was teaching, and you could tell that she was really interested in what she was teaching. I still have almost all of my notes and "cheat sheets" from her classes. I was a lazy high school kid. I skipped class and I just didn't want to be there. I recently learned that she is still at Riverside, teaching history, and I wish I could go back and learn from her now that I'm an adult. It's really the only thing that would ever make me want to go back to high school. Her whole class was dictation and note taking, but she made history interesting, and funny, and animated. Those classes were really something special and I'm thankful to have taken them. Any of you kids that have her for a teacher now, cherish her. There aren't too many teachers like her.

(dash) Thanks (comma) Miss (exclamation point)
