Greetings! In preparation for Father's Day, take a look at this card: www.zazzle.com/Blackbead and there you'll find a Father's Day card fit for a king! It's the perfect Father's Day card for the child who sees their father as a noble knight! Tell your father that he taught you well, that you appreciate his words and deeds, and that you will always see him as your "favorite knight." Braver than Arthur, more skilled than Lancelot, more noble than Galahad; proclaim your father the grandest champion of them all!
I love that card!!
Thank thee, m'Lady! I lost my father a few years ago but I wrote a series of poems along these lines. My father taught me to be brave (knight), wise (cowboy), and to live life to its fullest (pirate). He also mentored me into becoming a lawyer but I DON'T think I'll be writing a poem for that! Give the racoons me best!

I am my father's biggest fan...he's been a wonderful father, and a true friend to me. I'm aslways looking for ways to be unique and not mainstream in gift giving...that way he knows I've really put time and effort into what I give him. He's a biker...so one year for his birthday I baked him a cake, and cut it into the shape of a motorcycle (before I realized someone makes cake pans in that shape already!). He still talks about that...and it was 6 years ago!
I was just thinking over the weekend about the last time my old man and I were on Village Creek in a canoe. Of course, I can also remember him dressed in faux chain mail and furry boots with a horned helmet on his head and a wooden-headed battleax in his hand. He was always willing to take part in my adventures.
As he used to say, well, shout actually, as we paddled along, rain or shine, "Ya-ta-heh!" Thanks for bringing up some great memories, Tammy! ;D
It's not so much a memory...just a story I've heard alot, and I like to tell it as well.
My dad's always had motorcycles...when I was about 3, dad would put me on the tank and ride me around the yard singing Born To Be Wild at the top of our lungs.
Everytime I hear that song I think of how cute this is!!
