Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of September 27!
- A great big hug and thank you to GBS Gibsons for service with their hi ab crane truck to move our shed. St. Barts Garden Group are very grateful. GBS crane operator John is ever so professional and helpful. Great job John. Thumbs up.
- Kisses to all you tailgaters out there. So silly that it’s illegal. Rest assured, the car you’re tailgating will never hit the brakes hard because of pedestrians, traffic, wildlife, or someones’ stray dog or cat. Keep up the good work.
- Chaste kisses and huge bear hugs for our favourite folkie, Reg Dixon. For all your years giving weekly concerts at Totem Lodge and Shorncliffe and then here at Silverstone, Reg, we are truly grateful. Your music always lifts our hearts; we especially love hearing your original songs. Your playfulness, quick wit, kindness and generosity are compelling. Happy trails to you. Ann
- Kisses to the Pickle Boys for sharing their DILLINESS with the Coasters car parade participants.
- Kicks to the rude ferry worker who was less than helpful on a busy Sunday afternoon. We were lost and just looking for directions. Your immediate disrespectful and unnecessary attitude was unjustified. It’s free to be kind, try just listening next time.
- A harvest horn of kisses to Rona in Sechelt, Quality Farm, Harbour Publishing, B&K, and Kiomi Davis for their donation of prize(s) for Beyond the Harvest Fall Fair.
- Kisses to the wonderful folks who came to see the grandmothers/grandothers quilt which celebrates 20 years of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and to those who gave generous donations to help the many grandparents and others who are left to care for the younger generation after AIDS killed their parents.
- A seaful of kisses to Dianne (double “n”) and Dave for mapping the eelgrass on the Coast. The efforts by them are outstanding; wildlife is needed to keep our beautiful Coast pristine and rare.
- Volumes of kisses to Sechelt Library for hosting the seedsharing event. What an informative event. The kids and adults alike learned a lot about saving seed and growing food.
- A two-footed kick to local merchants who abandoned the Coast Reporter for an upstart advertising weekly that arrives in my mailbox on a consistently inconsistent basis.
