Tie o’ the Day and I have had a busy couple of days! It seems Mom decided she wasn’t getting enough attention, so she took a tumble in her living room and broke a hip. She is back on center stage, right where she belongs. She has always been the star of our show. This photo was taken in Mom’s hospital room today. Tie and I are standing with my sexy nephews, Robbie Wright and Travis Blackwelder. 🤕 (Note that my mini keg has ties on it.)

(Bow) Tie o’ the Day #1 is a stunning Nicole Miller piece. For clash purposes, I paired it with a questionable tank top from my ridiculously bigly tank collection. I christened this tank The Ugliest Tank Top Ever To Have Been Born. It’s hideousness is overwhelming. AND it is made of flannel! Really? Flannel in the summer heat? You know it is going in the yard sale. I pity the person who buys it, if anyone does. If it doesn’t sell, we’ll have a bonfire to destroy it. You bring the marshmallows, and I’ll provide the graham crackers and chocolate bars. 🍫

When I walked into the house dripping wet, after some pleasant dog-paddling in the pool, Skitter and Roxy were looking a wee bit homeless. I immediately scanned their fancy living room crate, and this is a photo o’ what greeted me. The Ties o’ the Day had taken over the dog crate, in an attempt to evict the mutts. Little scamps! I wonder where they learned all their hijinks abilities. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️😛😲

Tie o’ the Day #1  and this tank got together this morning to beg me to wear them. I’m a softie about letting my ties and tanks kinda get what they want. I unapologetically cater to them. I refer to this tank top as my Candy Corn Costume. Bow Tie clashes in a matchy way with it, so I’m glad Tank and Bow Tie found each other. I think they are a good pair, and will be forever happy together. 👩‍❤️‍👩

Guess who had to pee out in the middle of nowhere when we were driving north from Delta toward Tooele earlier? I beckoned Tie o’ the Day #1 to go potty right before we got in the car to head out o’ town, but I’m certain y’all know how well ties listen to orders. Boy, it is bigly convenient that there are millions of bushes and trees all along our travel route. Who knew Tie could even squat?! 🐇🐄🦌🦃🐑

 

Tie o’ the Day #1 accompanied me and my Sister Who Wishes To Remain Nameless on a quick Salt Lake City adventure today. Tie couldn’t get enough of The Temple! We attended a stupendous LDS Business College Devotional at Assembly Hall. The speaker was Bishop Travis R. Blackwelder–my nephew, and son of Sister Who Wishes To Remain Nameless. He da man!🎩

Tie o’ the Day #2 continues our stars-and-stripes theme o’ the day. What I like most about every holiday is that each holiday gives us an excuse to be dopey in our fashion choices. That’s how I justify all my celebratory fashion ensembles. 👙👗🙀

Tie o’ the Day #1 is a trooper. While I was sleeping in, this patriotic little piece of neckwear went out to the porch and put up our flag for this Memorial Day. I’m so proud o’ my ties. Their hearts are pure. And their freedom is precious to them. 🇺🇸

Even church bow Tie o’ the Day (a Stacy Adams piece) knows it’s the asparagus time o’ year. So after church this morning, we hauled out to farm country to traipse the banks of irrigation ditches, in search of this fine food. Tie loves to pick its own fresh asparagus. To hell with that store-bought stuff. Tie also likes to make jokes about how your pee smells after eating the asparagus. Tie is so immature. 🤡

Tie o’ the Day #2 (from Bow Tie Tuesday) is covered in mustaches. Sorry, I got them a bit blurry in the photo, but they really are mustaches. I decided that since I was wearing a tie o’ mustaches, it would look suave to wear a Panama hat. And it does present a swell picture. The cherry on top of the outfit, though, is the cigar I’m pretending to smoke. I guess lighting the cigar would make it better for the photo, and for actual smoking. But since I don’t smoke, I guess an unlit cancer stick is best for me and my bow tie. 🚬
