Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of March 22!
- A boat load of kisses to Jennifer, BC Ferries Langdale, for her kindness, compassion, and professionalism in locating and returning my luggage that was a result of my own error. Thank you so much.
- Kisses to Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club (a centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada) members for hosting a welcoming and informative night for the public at the observatory!
- Kicks to the weirdo lurking at my gate recently, shedding vodka bottles and carting away the beach boulders I loved enough to display. Please find more socially acceptable ways to get your rocks off and leave mine in peace.
- Kisses to Dad Brent who treated me to a bag of Izzy’s cotton candy in Davis Bay. It made a young person very happy to receive, your generosity touched a few of us.
- Kisses to the person who found my keys on Bailie and dropped them in the mailbox.
- Grateful kisses and happy retirement wishes to Barber Dave! My Dad, Ray Lipp, was a resident at Totem Lodge for more than five years. He always looked forward to having his hair cut from his favourite barber, “Barber Dave.” You made his day. Thank you!
- Huge kisses to Salish Soils and Bonniebrook Industries for donation bins and their time to do a spring clean-up at Poplars Estate Mobile Park. Thank you to all the residents who participated to make our community a nicer place to live and to everyone who stepped up helping each other chuck things in the bins.
- Kisses to the SCRD garbage collectors who took the straps off my bins when I forgot to take them off! And left them neatly on top of my bin. Your service to the community is appreciated!
- Kisses to BC Ferries for the habanero burger.
- Kisses to the Gibsons Public Art Gallery for sharing the delightful artwork of the Coast’s youth – such a great way to encourage young talent!
- Kisses to the folks putting in long hours – for free – to clean our environment and leave it better for future generations.
- Kisses to the people trying to organize community events. We need to gather together now more than ever, and your work does not go unnoticed.
