Today's tie was handmade by "Lily" in Guatemala, and was bought through Peace Craft, our local Fair Trade store. I'm wearing it because my personal calendar shows 17 April as an important date in the history of Guatemala, but I've learned that the closest event in the very complicated story is 13 April 1839, when Mariano Rivera Paz became Governor. Three years later he became the country's first President. I think these bold, shaded maroon stripes are good to wear more than once a year! Today I got to hold Dana Rose Alicia Kleppinger, born to Jonathan and Courtney earlier this month!
