Tie o the Day #1 is a polka dotty display on fluorescent green silk, from Stacy Adams. You saw this CHAPS shirt a few days ago. (Yes, I washed it before wearing it again.)
The above tie is kinda loud. But its loud-idity cannot compete with how high the volume on the tv has to be cranked up, in order for Mom to hear her Harry, Ellen, and Blue Bloods. She loves her tv shows. And I’m pleased that she still enjoys so many things. Her life is full. Her life is LOUD.
Tie o’ the Day #2 and its clash-matching pocket square are by IZOD. Shirt is from Marmot. Yup, marmot–as in “rodent”. A marmot by any other name is still a dang varmint to me. Varmint, varmint, varmint! That is a superb word we don’t use often enough. Yosemite Sam was fluent in varmint-speak. We should watch more of his fascinating cartoons to hone our own varmint language skills.
Mercedes and I met up in Layton today for the Transfer o’ the Mother. Mom had a bigly time with the Clan o’ Mercedes for a few days. And now Mom’s here watching tv loudly with me and Suzanne for a couple more days. Skitter and Roxy think Mom belongs here. So do Suzanne and I. Our city digs can’t compete with The Beach House porch goings-on, but we do have a patio and a deck to offer her. And if we raise our periscope through the roof, we can watch the sun set over Antelope Island.
