Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of August 18!
An ocean full of kisses to the Rotary Club for the online auction last fall. I bid on a boat tour and my friend and I enjoyed touring recently. Greg Grant was the consummate tour guide!
Kisses to the patient librarian who helped me over the phone to access one of the library’s databases – a real, local person, not a chatbot or remote call centre.
Many kisses to the wonderful staff in Sechelt library. They bring us free programs for us all to enjoy. We love our stitching class.
Kicks to the person who removed two of our advertising signs for The Warehouse in Wilson Creek. Small businesses survive on support, not malice.
Many kisses to the kind woman in the car in front of me at McDonald’s who paid for my ice cream cone. I will pay it forward.
Kisses to Todd of Walt’s Towing and staff of Park Road Automotive. Todd responded to my call for roadside help within minutes for a flat tire, inflated the tire and followed me to Park Road Automotive where they had the tire repaired within 20 minutes at a very reasonable cost.
Kisses to Butcher Dave’s Meat Market for donating delicious sausages for the Auxiliary Pancake Breakfast at the Halfmoon Fair.
Kicks to whoever broke their bottle of Smirnoff’s Ice in the middle of Barnacle, directly in front of the St. Hilda’s Anglican Church driveway and The Osprey; flat tires and possibly a blowout, causing serious injury could have been the result.
To the person who brought over a piece of mail (envelope) to my back door on a Thursday evening –July 27 -- delivered to the wrong mailboxes for Sechelt Inlet I presume – thank you ever so much.
A dozen kicks to person who stole our egg cooler from our honour system road stand. I wonder what kind of karma will follow you? It’s not too late to return it.
Kisses to the two friends and their dog leaving Langdale parking lot after the ‘5:30’ ferry from HSB July 28. The bus had just left…meaning a long wait ..an hour? …they kindly gave me a ride to Grantham’s. It was much appreciated!!
