jim and Joan came to dinner tonight. Rita and Ian met them at the pool a few weeks ago. Since that time, the four of them went to a late breakfast down the road. They kindly stopped by to say hello to us. Since meeting, they have become fast friends meeting daily at the pool and beach. This is a small world. Jim worked with my wonderful Wendy at Wyeth years ago. And Jim recalls her well, describing her as someone who was always prepared and quiet. Her facts and figures he recalls were accurate and believable. “No wonder Phizer kept her”, said Jim. Jim was just ready to retire when the purchase occurred so he was happy with the decision.
They live in London, Ontario and have been since they moved from Montreal where they were both brought up. They love London. The city is big enough to be interesting but not so big to have heavy traffic. The population now is over 500,000 which is about the same size as Halifax or Jackson. Jim and Joan are friendly interesting people and we have enjoyed having dinner together. This is the fourth year they have rented at Playa Royale even though they have travelled the world. They wisely enjoy Playa Eoyale. In fact, after Jim looked at the weather in London he wishes they could stay until the end of April. One of the blessings of living here is the people you meet. Of course, we would not have ever met them because Ken and I are not as friendly as Rita. But we enjoyed dinner together tonight, thanks to Rita and Ian.
