Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Featuring Matt from Necktie Resources/Tiepedia.com:

Matt from Necktie Resources/Tiepedia sent me an email the other day, just to say hello and that he enjoyed my blog. I took a look at his website, and it is awesome! (I put his link on the sidebar too.)

Matt is crazy about ties, and has done such a great job on his website bringing us everything he knows about them. Because Father's Day is just around the corner, and because lots of dads get ties for gifts, I wanted to highlight Matt and his website. To find out more about who made the beautiful cakes below, click on "original source" under the photos, and make sure to visit Matt's blog/website at: http://www.tiepedia.com/

Not Your Everyday Father's Day Ties:

"It may surprise some of you to hear what I am about to say, but it must be said. Not all guys want a tie on Father's Day. GASP! I know, I know, it sounds crazy... and I certainly am not one of those guys, but apparently it's true.

Listen to what Joseph Hurtado has to say, "there are only two types of men: those who hate ties, and those who grudgingly accept them as part of the job."

Blasphemy as far as I am concerned, but if you're Mrs. Hurtado you may want to think twice about getting Joseph a tie for Father's Day. How about baking him a delicious necktie cake instead? I don't think many men could resist that. Here are some sweet examples for you to consider! (Congrats to the cake artists who created these!)"
