A special goodbye

The cable to repair the bedroom slide arrived Tuesday, July 24. Jannich enlisted the help of Kay's son to direct him to a local mechanic who was willing to work after hours. The whole job was trying. Kay works at the Lions Club RV Park, booking in vehicles and helping campers feel at home.
We feel she could probably assist no matter what the dilemma – she has connections.

Two other women, Anne Marie and Karla, Kay's granddaughter also work here organizing the Brimstone Head Folk Festival. These are the three accommodating women who helped us when we arrived.

Knock, knock on our RV door Tuesday- knowing that we had planned on leaving the next day they had a special goodbye before they went home from work. Taking us completely by surprise, Anne Marie sat down by our picnic table and began to play her accordion - true Newfoundland music – for the love of it.
Kay danced a little jig and Jannich ran to get the camera.

Pictures do not capture the smell of the sea, the sound of the wind or the joy on the faces of the friendly people who love to share.

These women had previously showered us with pickled mussels, shrimp, cod fillets and tongues. Kay has supplied us with a vast amount of Newfoundland reading material by giving us several issues of downhomer magazines.
