What Are You Doing For Father's Day???

[Aggie_Ama]

What have you done in Father's Day past? A couple years ago my husbadn, brother and I took my father to breakfast and to see the movie Cars. He isn't one to go to the movies so it was a treat.

What recipes do you drag out for special occasions and can you share? Sugar cookies. Of course they aren't really a summer thing. I use Betty Crocker mixed (shhhh- I do them from scratch sometimes) and add a teaspoon Nutmeg. Then ice with powdered sugar frosting. My family loves them and gets really excited when I make a batch for them.

What have been some of your favorite gifts that you have given for Father's Day? I am sure we have done some good ones but dang I can't think of any!

What are your plans for this year?My dad will be at a motorcycle rally, so nothing. I think he is getting a crank LED flashlight though. They are wicked cool and he always needs flashlights when he takes out his travel trailer. As a joke I am going to buy him a stick on mo-hawk for his motocycle helmet!

For my BF's daughter's birthday recently I ordered a mug for her decorated with five photos of her with her dad. It was a hit, both with her and the BF.

So for Father's Day, I'm choosing five other photos of them and having a similar mug made for him. That way they'll have 'matching' father-daughter mugs, but with 10 different pictures..........

You can get photo-personalized mugs, jigsaw puzzles, and plenty of other items at a lot of places, but I found mine at www.personalizationmall.com.

Last year BF, BF's daughter and I did a day trip to Lynchburg, Virginia to bike the pretty trail system in the middle of the city. Packed a picnic lunch. Great fun......

I one time put a list together of all the reasons I was glad to have my dad as my dad. One reason for every year we had been a father/daughter team. He started to read it and quietly tucked it away, to be read later in private. I'm not sure what he did with the list after his private reading but I hope he knew at that point in time how much I loved and respected him. Just for the record I still have a tremendous amount of love and respect for him.

This year - he wants money for his future tool purchases. I won't see him on Father's Day but will see him a few days later when I journey down their way to pick my mom up for our annual "girls vacation."

I might go out to the cemetery where my dad is.

We might go to the inlaws. My father-in-law and I share a birthday about a week before father's day, so we'll do a combination celebration one Sunday in June.

He loves Ghostbusters. Plus he's impossible to shop for, but I think he'll laugh at this.

The photographer that we used for our wedding and girls baby photos put together a father's day special. We did a portrait session on Sunday...just his three girls! Yes I did get all make-up'd up for it and they turned out really nice.

So he will get a bi-fold frame for his office, one of the two girls and then one of the three of us and some new sunglasses that he desperately needs.

We did it last year and he loved it. I am sure we will do a picnic or something special on the day.

Me, too.

If y'all like your dads, cherish them while you have them. Once they kick the bucket, there's not much you can do.

Father's Day....
Always rough. My Mom still mourns the death of my natural father, died when I was 3 days old, and now despises the man she married when I was 2 (they're now divorced).

StepDad is the only Dad I know, and I love him dearly. But he isn't quite sane and I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. I think I love the memory of him, and don't know how to deal with the man he is now.

Sorry to drag y'all into my local episode of a soap opera.
