My Dad turns 80 today!
Cabela’s is celebrating ALL the Dads!
This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic
My Wonderful Father is 80 today!
No, that must be wrong! This is a man who wears no glasses, can lift his own weight, and only takes one pill a day! Doesn’t he look more like a 65 year old? (Please say yes, because that would make me 38 and I am all over that number!)
Let me just brag about my wonderful father for a minute. With it being his birthday and so close to Father’s day, I feel like I am allowed to go on and on a bit. Dad was an excavator his whole life with his own business. He worked so hard each day, laying pipe and managing a crew of men. As we are from Michigan, he worked in the hot hot heat and the dead winter cold.
Not only was he a great provider for our family even during hard times, he always had time to play with us and work with us. He and I spent three years down at our barn building soap box derbies and another few months finishing and painting my first big-girl car. We always went snowmobiling and sledding in the winter and spent time shooting in our backyard (an open area) in the summer. My dad would often take my brother and go with his brother and father to the local gun club to shoot skeet. Sometimes, even I would get to go along.

What do you get the “Perfect Father” for his birthday or Father’s day?
Do you struggle with what to get your father or husband for Father’s Day? Do they not need very much? Or want very much? Or have everything? Or can afford to buy whatever they want, leaving you with nothing to buy? I can see a lot of you nodding your head here! I mean this is what my husband Walt likes to spend his time doing (he won’t admit it though):
Walt cutting the concrete sidewalk before he levels the entire slab. Quite an engineering feat!

Luckily, Cabela’s is here to help me figure out what to get my dad for his 80th birthday, for his 56th Father’s Day and even find a Father’s Day gift for my hard working husband!

I discovered four things that I know my dad and Walt would love. A large safe always comes in handy (Sale $2149) and my dad would also love the pressure washer ($139). Walt has always wanted to replace our moldy tent ($119) and I know he would appreciate Cabela’s Men’s Rainy River® Parka with GORE-TEX® PacLite® in Tall Sizes ($139). TaDa! DONE!

I would love to get my dad a new bow. We used to shoot competitive archery when my brother and I were younger, and I know he would love to teach my daughter now.
I would like to get him the Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer because ours just broke and he hasn’t finished pressure washing the deck!!
I would get my husband the Simmons spotting scope kit.
I’d get my Dad new fishing gear because we enjoy spending time together on my boat fishing.
I’d like to get the rod & reel for my husband. He’s been accumulating camping gear and doesn’t have that yet.
I would love to win for the hubby! I could get him the Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer so that he can finally clean off our back porch deck haha! He would probably much rather the watch and knife combo though! 🙂
Would love to gift my husband a Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer, so he can keep all his man toys clean.

I made a mistake , the blog post i commented on didn’t copy (cut my finger) anway it posted my instagram account link.. here is the post I commented on your blog today tillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/2015/05/a-personal-story-look-good-feel-better/comment-page-1/#comment-416706.
Cabela’s Men’s Ultralight Fishing Stockingfoot Waders with 4MOST DRY-Plus is what I would love to get my dad..he loves to fish but sometimes doesnt want to get so wet..its a long drive in we britches from the fishing hole
I would like to get my husband some ammo for one of his guns (although, to be honest, I am not sure that this particular ammo is the one that he uses–I would have to sneak around and find out before buying), because he loves to go shooting at the range, but we haven’t been able to afford ammo for a long time. (Federal® 5.56 Ammo – 500 Rounds with Dry-Storage Box)
I would get him a gps,he won’t ask for directions
I would like to get my dad the Humminbird 571 HD DI Sonar to help him when he goes boating and fishing.
The guys love camping and so the Kelty Rock Bluff 20° Sleeping Bag would be a great gift.
I think I would get my husband a Garmin GPS. He has an old one, but you have to pay to update it.
I would like to get my Dad the Karcher Pressure Washer.
I think hubby would like the Kärcher 1,800-PSI Pressure Washer because his is kaput. If I won, I would let him choose what he wants. He is a wonderful father to our son and daughter.
I would get my husband the Shimano® Symetre/Cabela’s Fish Eagle® 50 Spinning Combo, because he loves to fish and this is a really nice fishing rod. He deserves a break! He’s a hardworking father of 10 🙂
I’d love to get the Champion 3500 Watt Generator Weekender Package for my husband. We’ve been without power a few times and it would’ve been great to have this!
I’d like to get him the Cabela’s Signature 50 Safe.
