father's day

[samina]

i just bought some fancy steaks & burgers & such for the first time from an online vendor & had'em shipped to dad for father's day... he loves to grill & appreciates a good steak... which i know he's too frugal to really pay for. lol... he'll like this.

IME, dads can be hard to shop for... i've done the home depot gift certificate, a fabulous selection of shirts & ties when it's time for a fashion update, and, well... those are the only ones that have seemed to be real winners. gave up the books & music gifting... i think they're just wasted on him.

what do you guys do, or have done?

they are all going golfing...have also bought show tickets ....getting my dad dinner gift certificates this year b/c he is going to start dating soon...I want to look like a good sport...bites lip

[samina]

that's very kind & supportive of you. he's ready for new companionship now? wow, what a big change that will be for him, to re-enter the dating world after so long.

[fascination]

just companionship...but yea...my mom was his whole world...its been over a year and he need some company other than his golf buddies....will see...he has his own health issues still unresolved...will see

Kudos to my brother for coming up with this year's idea. (My mom might kill us, but Dad will love it.)

We're getting him a ride in an open cockpit bi-plane. We tried to find one that does tricks (rolls, loops, etc.), but didn't have any luck.

Thank you, little brother!

Took my father to see Ocean's 13. He was thrilled, and enjoyed the film. :cool:
