John and I worked together at Mohegan Sun Casino . John was very quiet and stayed to himself . One day he heard me talk about my Aruba vacation . Turns out John and I had 2 weeks of Timeshares in Aruba . We have one week the same time in May .. We decided to meet for dinner in Aruba ! Told Charlie (husband) about John .We walked into an Aruban restaurant .... Guess who we see ! John & Eleanor ! We joined them for dinner !
The two families would continue to meet in Aruba for a dinner .
After that first meeting in Aruba ...we would sit together in the cafeteria and talk ... talk ... talk ..about our families and Aruba !
