How about making a special card for him with her on a computer and then just taking a long ride in his truck?

You could plan the route.

(I'm still hunting here! )

This is the first year that he's had full custody of her, so I kind of want to make it special...

LOL. Yeah, I want to do something a little more special than that.

We live in Vancouver, Washington (which is about a ten minute drive from Portland, Oregon) if that helps.

How is the wind speed out there, this time of the year?

It's windy here all year long. What did you have in mind?

Kite flying! You and his daughter could get, or even make, a special kite, maybe put some designs on it that the two of you do together and then the three of you fly the kite, (or, more than one) together. Father's day sayings and designs could be on the kite.

Of course, this being after you've had your wonderful meal together that either he has prepared or the three of you have prepared together.

I'll think of something. He wouldn't be interested in that at all. I know we'll go out to dinner. I just need an activity for us.

You know, you could always spend time with me here writing a song together! I've gotten it to the point that people can actually hear what I've written.

Actually, I'm serious about that!

If you would like to do something like that, I would be glad to help you!

Not much for me really going on for Father's Day. Daughter is in California and my son is kind of estranged from me. Although, when we get together, we do get along.

Thanks!

I'm not a writer, at all. But thanks.

But, you know what! I could help you to be one! Everyone can do something like that.

If you can walk, you can dance! If you talk, you can sing! The thing is, that we're not all born with a Stradivarius for and instrument. But, we can all do the same things.

If I was your age right now, I wouldn't be able to write very much on this site. It would be going very slowly for me. With practice, through the years, I can now write volumns.

Before, I would have never considered myself to be a writer or even any kind of singer. Now, I know that I can do both.

The offers always there!

Thanks!

Thank you.

You're welcome! Please take me up on it sometime! It could be a good way for you to bond with his daughter!

I don't like to write, it's not something that I enjoy. Never have. I'm more crafty. Crocheting, knitting, painting.. that sort of thing. So is she. Those are the things that we do together.

I'm going to start that new craft thread yet! I've already got some new images of things that I've done.

So, why not something crafty with them that could be done in less than a days time?

Cause he's not into crafts, he'd be bored to death.

What are something's that he enjoys doing? Start there!

Sorry I missed that post.

Do they have boat rides for you to go on? I love to go on Circle Line just for the view.

What about a pinic? At the beach or park? You can get some outdoors games to play at any store.

I am still thinking of some other things.

Yeah, I want something to do that's special. We have a weekend boat, so that won't get his jollies off. LOL. I'm sttiiilllll thinking, too. Glad I thought to think early!


I just want to apologize, I don't want it to seem like I'm just turning down all ideas. I just want this to be really really special for him because it IS his first Father's Day that he's had full custody of her, she just moved in with us. So I want it to be as special as can be.
