The necktie shown above was a gift from my grandchildren. (Remember, when I married Mary Ann, I became an instant Grandfather!) Not long after I received the tie, Mary Ann found the socks. On Thursday, I just happened to wear them together. I stopped at Costco on my way home to pick up a few items. As I was checking out, the cashier looked at me and said, "Man, I gotta have that tie! That is so cool. Will you sell it?" I explained that I couldn't possibly sell it - that it had been a gift from my grandchildren. Then I lifted up my foot and pulled up my trouser leg. "I've got matching socks," I announced. He looked, as did the other people in line. "Oh, ma-a-a-a-n, I gotta get those. Where do your grandchildren live? They sure didn't buy them in Huntsville!" he said. I explained that the Glade family lives in Iowa.
There's a man who works at Costco who now believes that Iowa is a fashion center. That's the power of color!
