Rita met them at the pool. Cathy spotted Rita's boot and came over to chat and offer sympathy. Cathy had back troubles two weeks ago and spent three days in the hospital so she wanted to tell Rita how well she had been treated. The next time I was at the pool, Rita introduced me to Cathy. The next day I met Ted, her husband.
The most interesting aspect of Cathy and Ted for me was that they spend 6 months of each year in Newfoundland. Here you meet people from Michigan, Alberta, and all places north but you never meet anyone from Newfoundland, so we invited them to our condo for cocktails. Ted was born and raised in Newfoundland in a small town in the north. His 4 sisters and their families still live in the same town. When Ted and Cathy retired, they renovated and expanded the house they have used over the years. Now they live half the year in Portage Le Prairie, their home of many years, and half the year in Newfoundland.
This is the first time they have spent time in Playa Royale. The rented for three weeks. They liked it so much they rented a larger place until the end of March. And they have booked it again next year. We enjoyed the drinks with them. They are charming and energetic. This summer, they had planned to visit Nova Scotia, which will include The South Shore, so we will see them this summer too. You just never know who you will meet sitting by the pool.
