Be a good neighbour!

Good Evening, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

It has been a wonderful tidbitz day! One of our young neighbours came by earlier and picked up a few pieces of clothing (sadly they do not fit Alan). He wants to pay us for them; so we will give him a very good price. Alan suggested that he should take them home, try them on, and then, we can go from there.

Mentioned in a recent post, that our complex had their annual garage sale last weekend;. As our young friend was not able to be there for the event, Alan put aside a few T shirts and some other items for him.

Later this afternoon, another neighbour came by with a good sized 'round' loaf of freshly baked bread that his wife had just made. They are from the Balkans; and they recently returned from a trip to their homeland. Along with the bread, our neighbour gave us a bittidz 'spread', which is to be served with the bread.

A few tid months ago, Alan helped the same neighbour with his fence and the neighbour has never forgotten Alan's assistance. These neighbours have been very kind and have given us home made bread on a few occasions.

As a thank you for their 'generosity of spirit', we gave them some red peppers (very hot) that have been thriving magnificently in our bittid garden, as well as a stoneware four loaf baking dish (see photo image). There is also a recipe included for cinnamon buns. She loves to bake; and we thought they would appreciate this particular baking dish. It is not just any tidbit baking dish. It is from Pampered Chef and cooking / baking with stoneware is awesome! For the first few times of use, you just use a bit of oil or a light spray; then after that, no coating is necessary; and the dish takes on a lovely golden brown hue. It gets better with each tidbitz use! The dish can not be washed with soap. Instead, you can use a Pampered Chef scraper and wash with hot hot water. It was a dish that I had intended to use; but never quite got around to it; eventhough, it looked great on display! LOL! We use and enjoy other Pampered Chef products; as they are excellent! It also felt good to return their kindness.

'Sally Gal' was picked up a little while ago. She and Shadow get along well; eventhough they are like a 'Mutt and Jeff' in size! LOL! Also, I just finished polishing up the few pieces of silver we have; and it makes such a refreshing difference to see it shine! Good for one's bittidz spirits, methinks! The same can be applicable to people! ie. Be a shining light, or an encouraging uplift and / or a Blessing to others.

It is a cloudy night; a good evening to be home. Alan has made up a spectacular spaghetti sauce from tid scratch; along with adding a bit of garlic on some of the freshly baked bread we received today. Delicious meal! Hope there is a good movie on tonight as well. Again, glad and thankful for the weekend! Much to be thankful for!

Tidbit - It is so true. "Love thy neighbour as thyself."

Bittid - You never know where a random act of kindness, or a word of encouragement, and / or a gentle smile could go and / or take you. It may make an empowering impact on someone who may be in need of a helping hand of encouragement.

Here is wishing you a nice weekend.

Peace and God Bless.
