East Windsor Delight at Dads Deli

We were very excited to try Dads Deli (located at 6152 Tecumseh Road E) and welcome them to the East side of town. It was their first day grand opening so they were extremely busy. Bill and I were fortunate to get a little table to enjoy a lunch break together.

I was shocked at the amount of corned beef piled high on my sandwich! It was delicious on pillowy soft rye bread. It came with a crunchy pickle and tangy coleslaw - both very good.

Bill ordered a chili dog - this was WAY bigger than expected! He passed a few unexpected mushrooms onto me but he really enjoyed it overall.

If you've lived in Windsor for a while, you'll know that this is the old Greek Boy building. After they left, it was several other places - none seemed to last at all for various reasons. With the arrival of Dads Deli - which is a family-run business, if they keep up with the quality of food, portion size, plus the excellent service, I can see them thriving in this area.

18th Anniversary at Terra Cotta and Ciao Caffe

I cannot believe how fast time goes. We just celebrated 18 years together and 7 years of marriage!

Terra Cotta (318 Pelissier St) was the top choice, as we were both craving pizza.  It was also a bonus that they had their 2-for-1 pizza special happening.

We started with a delicious shared Nero Salad followed by a wood-fired thin-crusted La Blonda pizza. This has definitely been our go-to order.  Everything tasted so fresh and taste buds were tingling - in the best way possible!  

Nero Salad: Romaine lettuce, red onions, green peppers, roasted red peppers, black olives, capers, tomatoes, and walnuts, finished with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing

La Blonda Pizza: Pesto sauce, mozzarella, and feta cheese.Veggies & Toppings: Spanish onions, roasted yellow peppers, zucchini, artichokes, and chicken.

It was really busy there, but we managed to get a table for two in the front. Our server Patricia was fantastic! Very friendly, accommodating, and watching her juggle all the tables, she was a rockstar. 

To finish the evening, we went to Ciao Caffe (4974 Tecumseh Rd E), which is a great little spot we found near us that we've been going to for a while now.  The staff are lovely and their dessert selections are incredible. 

I had a nice lemon/ginger tea, Bill had his usual cafe latte, and we split a mouth-watering strawberry romanoff cake.

We're definitely of the mindset to find local businesses to support whenever possible - everything is fragile and so making that extra effort is meaningful and benefits our community - full circle. When we get great service and the food is awesome - I want to blog about it, in hopes that others experience the same too.

WMC at the 2026 Outdoor Accessibility Fest-For-All!

📷2026 Outdoor Accessibility Fest-For-All highlights.  

🪄It was another chance for WMC members to be out and about in the community. This time we were in Cottam, Ontario.  Thank you to Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee for having us!

A great day for performers to share their unique talents and create magical memories for everyone.

I really enjoyed connecting with so many new people and organizations that are providing such amazing services for individuals and their families.  I was actually able to stop by the EMS booth to just share some personal stories and thank them for the services they do - without them, I dare to even think of the chaos our healthcare system would be in.
