Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Leamington
A huge thank you to Lisa in Leamington. Last night my SIL's did their laundry in town and in their haste one forgot her backpack, which had her cell, wallet and everything else we carry in a purse. Lisa found it and called me on my SIL's cell, smart thinking Lisa to hit last number dialed! We can't thank you enough for your honesty and effort in tracking us down. You are truly a wonderful person.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Point Pelee for the day. On the way home, we stopped at the timmies on Erie st in Leamington.
As we were about to pay for our order, the employee notified us that the woman ahead paid for our order, and a man in front of her paid for hers. We also paid for the order behind us as well!
It's just a good feeling knowing that there are so many people out there with such big hearts. Little things like this make my day. Thank you.
Spotted : A few weeks ago I was walking with my dog on riverside and I noticed an older gentleman who was having trouble collecting papers that went flying around because of the wind. I helped him gather what I could and once we were done I walked over to him. I gave him what I had from what looked like very old letters. I asked him if he noticed anymore missing. I took a closer look and I noticed watery eyes. He said he accidently dropped his book that had all these letters in it, letters that him and his wife wrote each other throughout the years. I told him I would help him. Every letter had a number in the top right corner and he had a total of 195. He was missing page 17 and 77, so we started looking. A few others joined in after about 10 minutes of searching. At one point we almost had 15+ people looking for he last missing page 77. While looking he told me his wife had passed away 5 years ago and every now and then he pulls out these letters that they wrote to each other while he was away from her(before texting and emails). I broke down into tears just listening to him tell me the story. Suddenly we hear a scream from a distance. This middle age man was trying to run as fast as he could to us screaming "I FOUND IT" this old man was so anxious to see the last page to make sure it was the right one. I was so happy to see that page 77 was now in his hands again. I helped him count the papers one more time to make sure they were all there. To all those people who walked by and stopped to help, you are amazing. To that old man, I hope one day I find exactly what you found with your wife. It was so beautiful to sit and talk to him for that little while.
I just thought I would share this story, hoping it makes someone's day!
With the help from presidentialproductionfilms.com and 1DREAM MEDIA we were able to go around our city and ask people to describe mothers in 1 word. Here are the results.

Spotted : yesterday my grandma and I were walking into Costco. I grabbed a cart and was going to meet my grandma at the photo centre. As I was walking towards her I noticed a gentlemen hand her something and walk away. As he smiled and turned away he said " the golden rule is what I live by, have a great weekend." I was curious so I asked her what that guy wanted. She said that he noticed when she pulled her hand out of her jacket pocket a $50 and $20 fell out onto the floor. He picked it up walked over to her and gave it to her. He had such a great smile and she thanked him and said thank you for being honest. Thats when he said " the golden rule is what I live by, have a great weekend"
I don't remember seeing something that touched me like this has in a long time. #Childrensee #Childrendo

*Life lesson today* I have always had a soft spot for people in need, I have always been a giver, without ever expecting any sort of return. At the grocery store today I was going to purchase the groceries for the family in front of me, I've done this countless times before. Something different happened today! They were so grateful, but instead of letting me pay for them they paid for a few of my groceries. My heart was full & happy! Today, it came back full circle to me, when I needed it most and expected it least. There are still good people out there... If you can't find one, Be One
