Thread: What did you get for Father's Day?

I am hoping my daughter will pick up the violin I have always loved them but have no musical ability myself. That is a sweet looking one you got to.

I bought myself a new Fender Electric Violin. I'm really enjoying it, and like straight shaving, the learning curve is wicked.

Best of all I have something to talk to my Dad about.

Fender Products: FV-1 Violin

I didn't get anything shaving related, or gun related for that matter. My wife bought me a bottle of Makers Mark, which she knew I had my eye on for a while now.

Holy Crap - look at all that loot!

Uh oh - no DMT 325 for lapping those hones? Tsk Tsk! I think you need to go back to SWMBO an ask for more. I am sure by this time she will be very understanding

My wife and I don't go crazy for mothers/fathers day (wait, now that I think about it, i went kinda crazy for mothers day).

I got a new toaster (believe it or not, I've really wanted one for a long time) and a set of speakers for my office.

Used the toaster this morning, and am listening to some Bob Marley as I work today.

I recieved:

From my 7 year old daughter Arabella - 5 beautiful hand-made cards and some of the nicest butterfly kisses a dad could ever want.

From y 11 year old daughter Matisse - a beautiful hand made card and an antique set of salt and pepper shakers shaped like tobacco pipes.

From my wife - a Filarmonica #12 Double Temple (yeah - I bought it and gave it to my wife to give to me).

Finally I recieved the warmest and most loving Father's Day I have ever had from my family. I feel God has blessed me each and every day, but yesterday was a time to really take pause and revel in it.

Sweeeet! I will let you borrow my old K98 if this doesnt suit you.LOL

My wife was in Las Vegas last week and came across the AoS store in the Luxor and ended up getting me this stand: Item 50003 - Fusion Chrome Collection Razor & Brush Stand - The Art of Shaving
I was quite surprised with this and it's a great addition to my den. She not so subtley said that now that I have the stand I can leave out what I'm using and put away everything else on my counter. My loop hole for this is going to be that I use it all!

From my 3 year old son I got a picture frame that said Mom + Dad = Me with a picture of each of us in it. Plus lots of hugs and kisses.

On top of that, just had a nice relaxing day with the family which was exactly what I wanted.
