Ties That Bind

I am going to forgo the Weighty Wednesday post because, frankly, I'm not feelin' it. I'm in a funk about weight issues, so I'm going to skip it this week.

Besides I have something much better to blog about this week.

John's amazing tie.

The activity day girls in the ward made ties for their dads and the bishopric for Father's Day.

They were spectacular. Bedazzled within an inch of their lives, tricked out with puff paint...




Notice the detail of the pipe-cleaner basketballs and the puff-paint hoop. I love this tie.


And even more, I love that John proudly wore that tie all day long.

Every dad needs a tie like that. Just to show off how much he is loved.
