Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
Last night my husband and I forgot to lock our car. Thank god no valuables were left inside. Someone rummaged threw our car and threw papers everywhere.
Please people be safe and cautious. Make sure you leave no gifts in your car or valuables.
I was very lucky. But to the theifs preying on others karma will come back around.
Every year my mother gives my kids Christmas money and takes them to the mall to pick out there own gifts. This year on the way to the mall she had told them the story about Justice the dog who was tapped up and left out in the cold. They then decided to donate there Christmas money to the humane society to help pay for his vet bill. I would like to spot my mom, kids and niece and nephew for there big hearts. Merry Christmas everyone.
While at our work Christmas party on Erie street, we were approached by a homeless man while out for a cigarette (not condoning smoking). He explained his story to us and we obviously felt bad for him, but had no change to spare. When we went out the next time he approached us again, explaining his story, and told us he had no family, no friends, and all he wanted was a hot meal. I would like to thank my co-workers husband, who stepped up and gave the man a generous gift, so he could have a hot meal! The man was so overwhelmed at the amount he received and started to cry.
Thank you to Randy, for being such a kind soul to this man!!
My boyfriend and I were at mr.meat today and when we later got home we realized that he has misplaced his wallet. We believe he may have dropped it before getting into the car. Please if you have found a wallet, please let us know. we can tell you the name and information in the wallet. Happy holidays fellow windsorites :)
Above and Beyond!
I just want to take time out to say how extremely considerate and helpful Peter was from the new Spago Restaurant in South Windsor! My friends and I figured out, sort of last minute, that we were all available to get together for a night of dinner and drinks. During the Christmas Season it's difficult to make plans with friends who have busy lives and kids to take care of and busy social calendars. I also know how busy it is for restaurants during this time of year. My girlfriend Facebooked Spago asking if they take reservations and tagged me in it. I immediately received a message from Peter at Spago restaurant. He asked me when we wanted to come in and what time and for how many and after chatting he confirmed we were all set to visit their establishment. No phone calls to be made. No hassle, no problems, all set, easy as that! We can't wait for our Bestie Triple Date Night with great food and drinks to celebrate Christmas! Thank you Peter for going above and beyond, contacting us and assisting us and making a successful date night out! Much appreciated and can't wait!
Friday evening I went to Canadian Tire with my baby to pick up a wagon for Christmas. The box was huge and I struggled a bit, until I gave up and went to find some help. A man and his teenage son were in the same aisle as me and must have noticed me give up. As I was waiting in line to get some help from an employee, the young man came up to me and asked if I needed help lugging the box to the front. It was totally unexpected and appreciated, even though I assured you we were fine. Good job Dad (and I'm sure Mom) on raising a perfect gentleman! Keep it up, I hope one day my son will grow up to be as thoughtful as you!
Last night my husband and I were leaving Silver City and decided to take Concession Rd 7 from Walker Road to #42 to go home. Just past Windsor Christian Fellowship, the PT Cruiser in front of us started to go up the little hump and suddenly stopped at the top and put their car in reverse. Then we heard a train's horn sound. The PT backed up and so did we.
There was absolutely no warning that a train was coming other than the horn seconds from it's crossing. This crossing bears no lights and no arms to prevent an accident from happening. Just a stick with an "x" on either side. One tiny distraction (we were discussing the movie we had just seen) and lives would be changed forever.
I will never take this route again and I urge others to steer clear as well. I can't believe that a road so close to a huge retail area where hundreds of people drive had no lights and no arms to warn of a passing train. This is reckless disregard for public safety in my opinion.
A big thank you and merry Christmas to the amazing human being who returned my wallet to the customer service at walmart on Dougall today! Words cannot express my gratitude! You have restored my faith in humanity as there are truly good people left in this city! Thank you so much and I wish you a merry Christmas and so much more! Much love and thanks!
