Appreciating your neighbours and homemade soup!

Good Evening,

Returned home a short while ago, from doing our tidbitz errands; and last but not least, took our Blue for his annual shots & checkup at the Vet's. There was a new vet there; and she was wonderful! Very low key and she masterfully put our young 'pup' of four years, at ease on the examining table. Health wise, he passed with 'flying colours'; and it is possible that he may feel a tid punky over the weekend.

We are presently watching the hockey game; and Blue is being a 'watchdog' alertly sitting by the window! LOL! Later, he will be happily snuggling up on our loveseat /chesterfield. Am glad to say that Matt Sundin received a 'standing ovation' from the crowd and from his ex team mates! The Leafs scored a goal; and since there is a 'break' now until the second period, thought I would just write a quick bittidz!

We also helped out our neighbour; am relieved she took us at our word to call us, whenever in need. She has just recently been diagnosed with epilepsy; and alas, the medication she was given, was doing her more harm than good. However, she is now on another type of medication; and it appears that things have settled down a bit. She graciously gave us $20.00 as a 'thank you' (it was no trouble for us to help her); however, she wanted to do that; and in turn, it helped us with extra 'grocery' provisions.

Alan is currently creating his delicious large batch of soup (smells so good!); and we will give 'Maureen' enough for a few meals! We bought some 'stew beef' on sale; and the tasty soup has 'everything in it, except for the kitchen sink!' LOL! Good way of 'stretching' the meals! Now that I think about it, we give soup away to some of our other neighbours; and everyone is 'extra' appreciative, particularly during these turbulent times! 'Maureen' called us the 'Good Samaritans' of our neighbourhood; I thanked for her kind compliment, and joyfully added: 'It takes one to know one!' She beamed and said, "A friend in need, is a friend indeed!"

Tidbit - 'Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you'. 'Love thy neighbour as thyself'.

Bittid - 'What goes around, comes around'.

Love the photo image of the beef and vegetable soup! It almost resembles a stew; very similar to Alan's thick meaty soup. The tid biscuits look very appetizing as well! Reminds me of the ones the White Spot used to make! Methinks I am hungrier than I thought! LOL! The hockey game has begun again; must go and cheer on our team! May be back in a bit; if not, tomorrow!

Here is wishing you a nice evening. We are 'extra' appreciative for being home tonight!

Peace and God Bless.
