Wordless Wednesday: A Real Friend

Coolest Shoes Ever!
Can you guess who I'm with? It's Rhonda from Laugh Quotes. Over thirty years ago we roomed together at the University of Missouri.




We took a trip to Boston to visit my sister. Just for kicks we said, "Hello" to everyone we passed on the street . . . or in the ocean. :)


We spent a New Year's Eve in Chicago. Like the shirts we made? So what if the necklines weren't centered.


Here's a picture of Rhonda from the last time we were together. She is with her teenager. Girl! It's been way too long. Come back to Memphis.


Sorry about the white around the pictures. I had a lot of trouble getting these to show on the blog at all. Please click on my Picket Fence Button and hers.

How fun. You two need to get together again. Then take more pictures. That would be great for and the rest of us too.

Have a terrific day. :)

Thanks, Sandee! I wonder how many people visit both our blogs yet didn't know we have a history together. . . especially with her living in NZ and I'm in America.

Have a great WW! and week, thanks for stopping by ;-)

That is so awesome. What wonderful memories you have together.

Rhonda Albom said...

Wow, what a surprise to come here today. I love these photos. I do remember Boston, but I had forgotten we made shirts. I think they look great! We are so talented - no wonder we are friends :)

I will agree it has been too long. (I don't think I have seen that shot of Sarah and I - love it!) Tomorrow is the first day of spring in NZ. (hint, hint).

Do you think the skinny girl in the photos is still in me, or gone for ever???

Thanks Joyce, for the memories and the years of friendship. As GrammyMouseTails said, we are lucky!

Wow! How fun to have those memories.

What lovely memories. :)

Thanks for all of the great comments!

@Rhonda - Do you remember the results of the shirts we made? LOL! We goofed and the collars were under the shoulder instead of centered at the neck. You really can't tell from the New Year's Photo.

As for the skinny girl, I hadn't seen the one who used to be me in years; however, my kids have specific instructions on bringing her back. If I'm ever on life support, they're not allowed to pull the plug until I'm a size six. :)

New Zealand! That's quite a distance. Luckily you have the internet.

It's always fun to look back at old pictures

Sweaty said...

The good ol' days!!! That's why taking pics are so important (so I said to my husband). Really, they spoke a thousand words.

What a true friendship you and Rhonda has! Thirty years... that's really rare these days. You two are so blessed!

I love this! :) How wonderful to have a friend for so long. My best friend of 15 years also has a blog, but she's been slacking on posting. Haha! I would love it if you'd stop by my Wordless Wednesday pic to say hi! I have a cute photo of my boys up this week. :) Have a great day!
