Tie o’ the Day #1 is one of my most prized Stacy Adams ties. Its eye-popping green brightness overwhelms, especially when you see it in person. It is impossible to look away from it, just like how you can’t look away from puppies or a campfire. Shirt #1 is an Old Navy polo from a couple of years ago. It is labeled as a “Slim Fit”. I must admit that it now fits the hanger a bit better than it fits me and my shifting love handles.😃
So yesterday was Ward Conference in Bishop Travis’ ward. And it was rumored that he would be the main event. Of course, Anne had to make the pioneer trek to Provo to see her little boy in action, elucidating a bevy of gospel principles. Anne needed a chauffeur, and I always volunteer for that job, cuz guffaws automatically come with each mile. 😁😀😂😉😃
Anyhoo…Bishop Trav has a gifted way of presenting otherwise kinda boring stuff. He always leaves the listener wanting to learn more about the subject at hand, and to work harder to be a better human being. (And Trav doesn’t say “um” in his sermon-on-the-pulpit talks. I, um, hate when speakers, um, say “um”, every, um, other, um, word.)
Travis also manages to incorporate anecdotes about his John Stockton-esque/Michael Jordan-esque high school basketball moves into his talks.😅 Oh, and he always includes a TTMIT story about some thing or other his legendary mom has taught him. And his wife, Collette–well, she is one of the most fabuloso people I have had the good fortune to meet in my wild life. (Does having a “wild life” make me “wildlife”?)
Tie o’ the Day #2 is a green, gray, and black 14th & Union design. Shirt #2 is a comfy Croft & Barrow from Kohl’s.
HELEN, SR. ALERT! Tomorrow, I’m hauling Mom north to the big cities of C-ville and P-view for a few days. She is so happy to make the trip, she doesn’t even care that she’s not getting her hairs did this week. Now, THAT is saying something bigly!
