Growing up, I thought it would be so much easier if he liked sports because then I could by him sport equipment or team apparel. I did manage to come up with a few really good things for him that he wore even though he always said he didn't need any new clothes. A lumberjack jacket was one of the best gifts I gave him. He liked the fleece pullover I got him too.
In cleaning out his house after he died, I came across a pile of birthday cards I had given to him over the years. I was surprised he saved them because I didn't think men cared about cards, but they must have meant something to him.
If you still have parents to shop for, you may find it hard to know what to get them, but that's one problem you should be glad you have!

My parents have both gone to pave the way for me, but I feel the same way. If I could have my mama here for one more day I would feel more joy than I could express.
I just found a link last night that you might like. This young man offers a free ten-day course on how to grow your blog. He must know what he's talking about because he has more than 1900 subscribers. I'm trying to spread the word to as many other bloggers as possible.
On a different note, have you met Lenny? I'd appreciate it if you could check out his blog and become a Follower. I've shared some of his talents here.
I truly hope this will help both you and Lenny. Thanks for looking at his blog. I think you will really like it. He's a great kid.

you would be surprised by what our Dad's keep hidden away.My keep my cards as well.He especially kept a letter I wrote to him for Father's Day 1984 in his top drawer. I believe He read it every day.this letter brought us closer together that anything I did prior to that.I miss him and my Mos as well this year would have been their 61st wedding anaversary.
What a nice thing to write. It is good to have to come up with a present even for our most difficult recipients because at least we have them. I am going to get a copy of your book today. So excited.
