I love the lyrics of the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton duet, "You Can't Make Old Friends," especially the lines about "When somebody knocks at the door, someone new walks in, I will smile and shake their hands, but you can't make old friends." This is something I have discovered in the past five years as our old church closed down and we had to start anew at a different place. I am getting to know the ladies there, but there is something missing, the shared experiences that help make old friendships so vibrant. Hopefully someday that will develop, but in the meantime, I am grateful for the ladies pictured here, who were my old friends for so long!
The hidden journaling where I talk about the event and the friendships I have with these lovely ladies is on a tag that pulls out of the green sleeve:
