We had a treat Saturday. Daphne flew in from Colorado to attend a wedding. She made time to visit with Sweetie. Daphne was Sweetie’s maid of honor when we got married way back when and then a year or so later Sweetie was Daphne’s matron of honor when Daphne married Charles. We love Daphne. She’s great and so is Charles and their son.
I was off doing something else during most of the visit but I saw her long enough to get a picture. Her choice was either I take a picture now or I post a picture from way back when. I got some great pictures of Daphne from way back when (they are all G rated, don’t worry). She would rather that they be just our little secret for now. I agree, unless I run out of material to post about. Then who knows? A blogger has to have material, right? Where do we get our material? From our friends!!!! If we can find them.
Daphne is a sweetheart and a dynamo. She is a high energy, don’t stop, get it done woman. We all three knew each other in our Single Sunday School class at the church we attended in Oklahoma City. Daphne ran the whole thing, she really did, and did a great job.
See you next year Daph!
Oh yeah, this is a Perfect Pairings post. I couldn’t find anything in the Bible. Its not due to a deficiency of the Bible. It’s me. Hey, but I found a Hymn! An old one. Isn’t the internet wonderful (as the Bible scholars groan.)
Blest Be The Tie That Binds
John Fawcett, 1782.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father’s throne,
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts, and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
I like the hymn – good idea!
You do know you can look up verses on http://www.biblegateway.com, right?
It’s good to see a smile on Sweetie’s face.
My spiritual needs are satisfied with that hymn. Works for me.
Very sweet photo of the two friends.
Sounds like you all had a nice visit. Always great when you can spend time with friends.
It sure is great to have friends who stick around for a lifetime. Beautiful post, Yogi.
Daphne must be a wonderful person and it’s nice to spend time with friends.
When you compare the words of the old hymns with their deep meaning that truly touch your soul to the cotton candy praise choruses it makes you wonder why better songs can’t be written today.
It’s always great to spend some time with high school friends. So many memories, so many jokes from the old days..
Great post! I love the picture of Sweetie and her friend!!!
I remember that hymn from my days in Arkansas.
You know, we have many men from Thailand working in Israel. Once I saw one about to tie something with a rope. I couldn’t help myself and started singing “Blest be the Thai that binds …”.

@Dina – Uh, I’m feeling a very strong pull on my leg right now.
