Here are your kicks and kisses for the week of September 6!
- Kisses and bear hugs to BC Conservation Officers Murray and Riley for their quick response to a hungry mama bear and her three cubs. Officers Murray and Riley handled a difficult situation in an extremely caring and humane manner. Thankfully mama and cubs are now safely relocated deep in B.C.’s wilderness playground.
- 202 grateful kisses to our FANTABULOUS hospital staff! Especially Dr. Carol, nurses MacKenzie, Becca, Ashley and cleaner Edward. We are so blessed to have you all!
- Giant kisses to salesperson, Claire, working in the cell phone department at London Drugs. You went beyond the call of duty to help this non-techy senior with her new cell phone that needed to be activated when this same clumsy senior broke her old one! You were a godsend! Thank you!
- Many kisses to the customer service dept personnel at Independent Grocery Store for their honesty and quick action on locating my wallet. It’s nice to see integrity still flourishes in our community.
- Kisses to the staff at Silverstone (Marianne, Karen, Cindy, Christabelle, John, Darian and Dr. Bani) for the loving care and support for our late partner/father, Michael Siddall.
- Kisses to Diane at the Canada Post outlet in lower Gibsons. Your kind assistance (re: my son’s birthday card) was very much appreciated!
- Kicks to those who are soft on crime. Traumatized victims of stolen or damaged property are the ones that need help and compassion. We’re living in a world where logic is illogical and illogical is logic.
- Heartfelt kisses and big bear hugs to Frances Nahanee of Tsain-Ko Native Giftshop for your kindness, knowledge, and outstanding customer service (always). The pure energy and intention behind this beautiful pendant by Indigenous artist Joe Descoteaux is one that I will cherish forever. Many thanks, K.
- Kisses to the staff at the Dollar Tree for finding my wallet and putting in the effort to find my information on social media so I got it back quickly! Thank you!
- Kisses to the incredibly observant drivers who stopped both ways on Highway 101 outside GBS for the coyote, who was courteously waiting for a chance to cross. Everyone was so very polite, helpful, allowing the coyote crossed without mishap.
