Dining Friends

We prefer to arrange for anytime dining and then

try to find a table we like and reserved it for the

remainder of the cruise. We like a table for two

adjacent to another table for two. That way we eat

at our own pace but have someone to talk to.

 We have a nice table by the window and have

had several neighbors but we now have a

permanent couple who are delightful. I am slowly

gathering information about them.

Since they are older than us and seemed very

comfortable with each other I asked them how

long they had been married. They answered

at their church. I haven’t got complete story, but

one of them must have been new to that church. 

When they decided to marry, the church ladies

took over and things were not as simple as they

had planned.

Bill was a chemical engineer and worked in

Intelligence in WWII. He had one year of college

and was in Germany in 1944 and 1945. I haven’t

found out their ages (yet) but he must be around

90.
