I am always interested with the sorting of neighbors. With some you develop life long friendships and others you never get to know at all, other than to say hello. The same has happened at our condo here in Mexico.. Immediately adjacent to us is a 2 bedroom unit. The place is always full with folks staying 2 or 3 weeks at a time. But there is only one couple that have become friends and I am not sure how this happened. David and Margaret are good friends. On Saturday they moved in and on Sunday Margaret stopped to say hello. Tonight they are coming for dinner.
They live in Kimberley, BC, a charming town in the mountains south of Kelowna. Margaret rides horses and a couple of years ago she broke bones when she fell off one of her horses. Now she has a gentle horse and still rides. "Getting old is difficult," said Margaret on Sunday. This past year, after a heavy snow, she tripped in the high snow and broke 2 ribs, which was painful. The rest of the year was uneventful, for which she was grateful.
We have met their daughter and their family, and their friends from England. We have known them since we first moved here. I have no real answer as to why we are friends with David and Margaret and the other folks who live there we ignore. Perhaps it was Margaret's English accent that caused me to chat with her or perhaps they invited us to have a drink. I have no clue. But we enjoy them both. They are energetic and active which always pleases us. Or perhaps we got to know them because Margaret is a retired doctor. No matter. They are here and we like them. "I could not think of anything we would want to do than eat dinner with you," said Margaret, when I invited her. And Rita is the cook, which pleases me!!
