Reunion

Thirty plus years ago, Mike & Dodey were our youth pastors. It's been about 32 years since we've seen them. Back then, they were adults and we were kids. Now, we're almost the same age! They are missionaries in Chile and have been for a long time.

We were thrilled to have the chance to see them again (after their week of vacation in the Pigeon Forge area). Our visit over breakfast went by oh so quickly. We feel like we could have talked for hours more. But they had a long drive ahead of them and we had another engagement ourselves.

After saying good-bye, Larry & I headed straight home because we had the opportunity to cruise the Southern Belle (a riverboat) for free. It's a little reward for volunteering at Riverbend - a local festival. The boat meandered a little ways down stream and up stream a bit and then back again. It gave me a good opportunity to get a few more photos.
