Here’s a perfect photo, despite no Bow Ties o’ the Day to be seen on anyone. Queen Helen reigns, while Bishop Travis and Bishopette Collette sit to her left. My Sister Who Wishes To Remain Nameless sits on Mom’s right, and she yet again hogs her grandbaby, Grace Anne Blackwelder. And Grandpa Gary is one happy, happy man.
Today is Gary’s birthday, and I am giving him the gift of letting him star on TIE O’ THE DAY. If you have the good fortune to know Gary, you know he is generous and a jokester and a reader. I am also giving him the gift of finally revealing to the world the truth about one of his secret identities: Gary is My Hubby. Years ago, I even printed me a t-shirt to wear around Delta, which said, “GARY’S OTHER WIFE.”
If I needed some “hubby-help” when in Delta, Gary was my guy. Truck won’t start? Call My Hubby. Time to shut-off the outside water for the winter? Call My Hubby. Did the Delta wind rip the front porch screen door off its hinges and toss it into the canal? Have no fear– My Hubby is here! Did the hall light fixture suddenly fall out of the ceiling? That’s a job for My Hubby. I could go on and on.
Be warned: If I’m not in Delta and you mess with Mom, it’ll be My Hubby who gets in your face to handle your misbehavior. I just love that man. He’s My Hubby.
