Month: July 2017

Tie o’ the Day is a neck-ed one 👔. The Deltabama house we’re selling was my grandparents’, and I grew up next door. My kidhood was played-out in both yards and houses. Anyhoo…When Popo (my grandpa) poured the sidewalk by the garage, he let me leave my handprints, which are still visible. The year—“69”—is written below my name. 😢 😧 😭 Hard to leave this concrete memory.

This Bow Tie o’ the Day is trying to do what Deltassippi-area people have made a tradition: stealing a few ears of corn for supper. C’mon, you know you’ve done it. You’re driving somewhere, and you pass a fine field of ready corn. You decide fresh corn sounds tasty for dinner, so you make sure no-one is watching. And then you grab a few ears. And you don’t feel one bit guilty about it as you consume the yellow staple. 🌽

I know, I know. Where is Bow Tie o’ the Day in this picture? Bow Tie has dreams of being a photographer, so I let it handle the action behind the camera today. Our birthday gal, Suzanne, is holding her fave-rave kind of b-day cake: POTATO CHIP. It took me hours to make. And she enjoyed it enough to have a third helping.  🎂 🥔

Bow Tie o’ the Day celebrated the 4th by cozying up to my new Pub cup. Yup, the cup is a replica of a toilet. Suzanne gave it to me, and I hope it isn’t a hint about her opinion of our relationship or how she thinks of me in any way. 😱 😳 BTW Today is the amazing Suzanne’s 53rd birthday. I hope I remembered to get her a gift and to compose her annual birthday poem. 🎁 🗒

We are late posting cuz Bow Tie o’ the Day is in bigly trouble. The little scallywag has been in timeout for hours, cuz look who hauled off alone into a field—to take up a new, horrible, and expensive habit! Smoking? Really? We all need a vice or two, but this stinky vice is not gonna be adopted by any neckwear living under my roof. And why Bow Tie chose to smoke the largest cigarette in the world is beyond me.  🚬 🚬 😜

Bow Tie o’ the Day enjoys our daily walkies. Occasionally, bow ties need to relieve themselves, however. Bow Tie has seen the mutts take care of the problem by utilizing fire hydrants, and Bow Tie obviously took note of this convenient strategy. Whatcha gonna do? At least Bow Tie is a quick learner and an independent spirit as well. 👟 👟

 

Ron guest-starred here a few weeks ago, rockin’ two pairs of glasses in a tie-like manner. Here he is again on the Tie O’ The Day tblog, sporting three happenin’ sets o’ eyewear. Ron is both suave and good-hearted. Mom got out of the Care Center after yesterday’s parade, and Ron took her to St. George, where she will dwell with him in a grand bachelorette pad which Ron and Marie have created for her in their home. It’s all gonna be ok. 🕶 👓 👓

Tie O’ The Day presents an 11-Tie Salute on this 4th o’ July. We couldn’t organize a 21-Tie Salute cuz most of my patriotic ties have already moved to Centerville. These ties didn’t wanna go to the parade this morning. Instead, they nagged me to tell them about my Class o’ 1982, 35-year DHS reunion which Suzanne and I and a baby blue bow tie attended last night. So I schooled the ties about all the characters who showed up for the festivities. Fun-a-rama! Although I sluffed my entire Senior year, by graduating in ’81, I forever belong with my ’82 rabbit pals. 🎓 🐰

Patriotic Bow Tie and Suzanne and I were walking past the Deltassippi park, and we saw this fancy flower heart laid out on the sidewalk. Note the “S” in its middle. Suzanne thinks I created it before our walk, just for her to “accidentally” find. I have no clue who made it. But it made Suzanne so happy that I will take the credit for being so thoughtful. 🌼🌷 😉

Church Bow Tie o’ the Day is one of the most amazing bow ties I have ever met. IT IS CRAFTED OUT OF WOOD! How groovy is that? Jess and Harlie presented it to me yesterday! For some undecipherable reason, they and their family seem to kinda sorta like me. And, clearly, they know what I’m all about. Thanks, girls! 🎁
