Road Runner Posted June 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2019 It's only a week away. What are you hoping for? Someone here is getting a new car. I am only expecting a phone call. Maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted June 8, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2019 I got a fancy watch from my son that’s in North Carolina. He also sent me a cashiers check as a payment on a loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted June 8, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 8, 2019 I haven’t asked for anything and they haven’t asked what I want. I ‘m guessing they have something planned already. I don't burden my kids with fancy or expensive items. If they ask what I want I tell them a T-shirt or new ball cap. My wife is struggling with her dad. She always wants to get him something special but struggles with what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most years I'm lucky to get a text message. This year it's the day before my birthday. Oldest son will likely text both days. Middle son, usually nothing. Daughter will probably buy me a gift. I ask her not to. I bought myself a mid life crisis toy, as did my wife. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted June 8, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 8, 2019 My son is coming over for the weekend. My wife is flying out east to look after her parents for a couple weeks so we will do some diving together and cook a nice meal and hang out together. Both my girls will call me for sure. None of my kids will buy me anything, we have discouraged it for days like fathers and mothers day. They will all tell me they love me, and that is enough for me. I will call my Dad, but usually call every Sunday anyway 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted June 9, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 9, 2019 I will have fond thoughts, reminisce with my brother on the phone while we both have a Lamb's Navy Rum and coke. That was Dad's go to drink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted June 10, 2019 Share #15 Posted June 10, 2019 Father's day this year is being superceded by my DiL's graduation. We'll be in California for that, with her family. A FAR better thing to celebrate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted June 10, 2019 Share #17 Posted June 10, 2019 Wo7 left for Ohio today. LAJ stuff. We celebrated FD yesterday. I got a card and cooked dinner for FD. Strip steak, scallops, roasted potatoes and mushrooms. Allagash bean and barrel for the cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
