Visit with "old" roommate

Shirley and I met our first semester in college and ended up being roommates. She was (is) from New York. She left Kentucky in the late 60's and returned to her native state to get a job where she worked as an accountant for more than 25 years, married Jack. They eventually bought her parents' house, where her family moved to when she was two. We have kept in touch over the years and finally after all these years were able to get together last night here in Elmira, NY, for dinner and a very nice visit. She and Jack treated us to dinner at the local Olive Garden and then they took us out to their home for dessert. How wonderful it was for us to be able to get together and try to get caught up on our lives. We are looking forward to other visits together in the coming years.
Today Clayton and I left the hotel in Horseheads and drove to Schenectady where we will begin a missions conference tonight. We will be here in the Hudson Baptist Association through Sunday night. It sounds like they have a wonderful week planned for us to share in the churches about the work in Argentina and other places in the world.
