He was born August eight, 1948. He’s one of those stereotypical people that is damn near impossible to buy for and add that I’m broke at the time being doesn’t help matters. Anything that is nice, is impossible for me to buy. Just a “for instance”, he and my mom just got back from a well-earned Alaskan cruise. How in the world can I top that?

He is happy with that too, but I’d like to do a little something special for this birthday. I have a feeling that’s why they went on the cruise, he’s never been on a cruise before.

My dad is probably where I got my gypsy spirit from. We never moved much, but I have been swimming in both oceans off the coast of the US, and my dad was at the wheel driving.

sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box .
if you have a bunch of family pics of everybody (or just immediate family) on the PC, you could make a nice PP with some music he likes and burn it to a cd and give it to him. my wife made one for her dad for fathers day and he cried. i have known him most of my life and i have never seen him cry.
My daughter's birthday as well, and she is getting pony rides.
You might check Ebay for vintage horse photos (I have been giving old maps as gifts to my fellow history buffs). The NJ colonial coin has a horse's head, might be of interest.
