Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
On Tuesday March14, around 3pm. I walked out of Anni's threading and spa at Tecumseh east, I left there in a rush with my wallet in my hand, with the intention of putting it in my purse. The wind was blowing really hard, as I attempted to put my wallet in my handbag it fell into the snow. I had no idea that I didn't put it in my purse, I went in my car and drove to Starbucks on Tecumseh street east, upon ordering my drink I attempted to pay, my wallet wasn't there. I told the barrister that I left my wallet in the car, I ran back to my car, no wallet ! I frantically went back in the Starbucks to let her know I lost my wallet, she was so kind and understanding, she told me to take the drink; even when I refuse to she said! "It's ok, I hope you find your purse." I drove back to the plaza at Anni's spa, no one saw my wallet, I went in all the store to see if anyone had turned it in. Suddenly my phone rang, I answered a gentleman from St Clair told me that someone found my purse, checked inside to locate me, but found a st Clair Alumni card and called st Clair to let them know that he had found my wallet. So, to the guy on Meadowbrook lane, I believe your name is Jeremy, I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being so honest and humble, just when I thought that there is no more good in this world. THANK YOU! Your kindness is really appreciated. You went above and beyond to find me. God bless you, and I promise I'm going to find a way to reward you.

Laurie and Stephanie who work at Sears you have been spotted for being so kind and understanding where others probably wouldn't be and going above and beyond to help us out when you found out my son is scared of the escalator and elevator.
Your thoughtfulness was the best birthday gift for this Mom.
Thanks again.
To the ignorant dog owners at Devonwood Conservation who allow their dogs to walk off-leash, hundreds of feet ahead of them and without any recall abilities: you are putting your dogs (and any other dogs walking on-leash) in a very dangerous position. Do not be surprised if my dogs, while properly leashed and thus in a vulnerable position, attack or bite your dog if yours charge at them or get in their faces. Do not shout "my dog is friendly" from 100 feet away...mine are too. However, when placed in a situation where they feel threatened and vulnerable (such as being constricted to a 3 foot leash and being quickly approached by a free-running dog), then they can and probably will go into defensive mode and protect themselves.
Yesterday, I saw a large, overweight black dog (chow mix) standing down the pathway, unleashed and without any owners in sight. I froze so that the dog would not see me and my 2 large breed dogs, hoping that the owners would appear and leash him. After a few moments, I saw the owners long down the path, too busy chatting away to check on their dog or even care enough to see if anyone else was around and call their dog back. We were forced to turn around quickly and take another path.
There is also a middle-aged woman who notoriously allows her 2 dogs (large white german shepherd mix and a smaller, dark beagle mix) roam Devonwood with her trailing MINUTES behind them. The first time we stopped well in advance of the dogs and waited for someone to get them. After at least 3 minutes, this rude woman starts to get near them and I asked her to put her dogs on a leash so we could walk by. She shouted at me to "continue walking" and made no attempt to call her dogs back towards her or anything. Another time this happened, her dogs started to run towards mine and so I shouted to her to put her dogs should be on a leash! She told me that her dogs are "friendly" and to just "keep walking". I had good control of my dogs when hers approached mine and was able to move past them quickly BUT, it could have turned bad if her dogs continued to follow us or got in my dogs' faces.
I love all animals and would never want one to get hurt, especially due to the ignorance of an irresponsible owner. So please be responsible and have some respect for those walking the trails with their dogs and have some respect for your own dogs! Leash your dog, keep them safe and enjoy your walk.
On Tuesday February 28th after a late night conference, a friend and I stopped for dinner at the Kildare House for a bite to eat. We were seated up stairs next to a group of young patrons in their 20's celebrating a friends birthday. They respectfully asked if they could listen to their music while playing a friendly game of cards. The patrons were polite and enjoying each other's complaby, laughing and celebrating. When we left to pay our bill the server told us that, "It was taken care of." On our way out a young woman apologized for "Being loud and disrupting our dinner conversation" and explained that they were celebrating a friends birthday and had no intention on ruining our dining experience so she paid for our dinner to say thank you and that she "appreciated us". So to that beautiful patron, Thank You for the kindness and generosity displayed.
To the woman who was slumped over in her car, going through the Lauzon and Catherine Intersection on March 11, 2017 at 6:45pm near the Walmart, I REALLY hope you are OK, which you must be as when my horn went off you decided to wake up and press the gas and proceed into the Tecumseh Mall parking lot, fleeing the scene. What you failed to realize, your pick up truck took off my license plate and caused damage to the front bumper of my Dodge Journey. I had the green light and other cars were honking at you. I didn't have time to put it into reverse before your truck scraped the front end of my journey. I didn't get your license plate which I wish I had, but I was trying to make sure I didn't cause an accident in the process. I wanted you to know, I've given your description of yourself and your truck to the police as they wanted to send someone out to make sure you were ok. I hope if you have any sort of a heart, you'll contact the police and maybe help pay for the damages you've caused!
Found iPhone in an otter box case on Dougall Avenue in South Windsor. Tried to call owner but phone has no service and is locked. The owner will know what it looks like.
