The extent of my Father's Day activities includes calling my mom to wish her a happy father's day.

Haven't made plans yet, but I'm sure my bro and I will take our Dad golfing, then probably back to the house to cookout.

Have dinner with dad and enjoy sitting around watching tv or something cause he hardly talks.

My dad's deceased and I don't have kids, so I guess the extent of FD activities for me will involve visiting my mom.

I will be doing the cooking for my father, father-in-law, and my grandfather. I am really looking forward to what my seven year old has in store for me, you never know what is going on in her mind.

This is my first father's day as a Dad. My daughter is 7 months old and I will be by myself with her until about 5 while my wife is at work. I actually like the idea of just being with the kid and bonding. With being a teacher and a coach I only saw her about 2 hours a day until the end of May.

I'll probably golf with my dad in the morning and then spend the day with grandma, since my grandpa died one year ago on Sunday.

I knew one of your parents had passed I thought it was your father, based on your post.

Anyway, I hope things are good for you this weekend.

Hey, I got an early Father Day gift. Brats, strip steaks and filet mignon from Kidron Town and Country! They are the best, IMO of course.

What you gonna grill?

I should have thought about that I was at Gerber Lumber on Tuesday ....

I'm going with Blue Cheese Burgers, potato salad, watermelon, and grilled zucchini. I was going to smoke some brisket but got lazy..

Holy Moly, I was just at Gerber's this morning!

Your meal sounds good. In addition to my grilled meats, we will be having baked potatoes and our home frozen sweet corn.

Small world! Those Kidron Gerbers are pretty serious Amish. I have Amish roots myself.

Dad passed away a year ago, will miss visiting and playing guitar together. Will probably play a little Rush or Sabbath in his honor this weekend.

Spending time with my kids and in laws. Wife always plans something fun for fathers day.

Thank you, and I will return the favor. Not an easy day as we get older.

Anything for The Town and Country is great. To answer your question, we won't be home Sunday so tonight I grilled fresh cut rib eye steaks from The Butcher Block, some burgers, and some chicken wings along with some mushrooms and Vidalia onions. Soooooo good.

Truth be told I used to work for Gerber Lumber, very small world.

You have mentioned that before, they are good people.

Are you sure about that? I was always under the impression Elias P. Gerber was Mennonite not Amish. But I could be confused.

Sorry to heat this. But I am happy to see you are honoring his memory in a fashion both of you would have enjoyed together.

Got him a hat that I had customized from the unit I am. He loved it. Was a nice little lunch.

Saddest part was when my sister in law showed up. She lost her dad a couple of years ago in a freak accident. We all knew him well from over the years and it still puts a hole in our hearts.
