Our special lunch today was held at the golf club. Ian prefers it over all others. We six took the shuttle and had a delightful lunch sitting watching the 18th hole. In addition to having our last lunch with Rita and Ian, we also celebrated the arrival of Don and Doreen who came on Sunday.
Tonight we celebrated too. Our neighbors arrived on Saturday from Kimberley, B.C., so we combined a last supper for Rita and Ian along with a welcome for Margaret and David and Don and Doreen. The dinner was festive. We served beef tenderloin, boiled new potatoes, carrots and salad. And we even had horseradish and gravy. Entertaining for 8 in our condo is not easy and we have service for 8 which means we often run out of cutlery and dishes. But no one minds....I think.
Margaret brought a dessert of fresh fruit and ice cream. We had not seen Margaret and David for two full years as last winter we did not come to Playa Royale at the same time and the winter before, Ken and I were on our cruises so were not here. It was very nice to see them again.
Tomorrow, I will return the wheelchair to Marlin, the concierge. It has served us well. Rita and Ian will begin the long journey home to Ottawa. We will miss them and wish them a safe journey. Unfortunately, a storm is forecast for Toronto so no telling when they will arrive. They will fly to Toronto, then stay with Randy and Gaby before driving on to Ottawa. Our life here is full of comings and goings.
