HELP!!

I'm about to get his with a tripple whopper, folks! June contains not only my 11th wedding anniversary, but Father's Day and Brazilian Valentine's Day. And so the big question for the day:
WHAT IN THE WORLD WILL I GET MY HUSBAND???!!

A video game isn't romantic enough, a good Christian book isn't big enough, a sweater is just too practical, I don't have time to learn to knit a scarf.
I need your ideas. There are about 350 of you people reading this--someone is bound to come up with something.

I think a good Christian book is a good idea. Chuck Swindoll has a series on Great Lives. Beautiful books, great stories.

Cam,
The traditional gift for the 11th ann. is steel and the modern one is fashion jewelry. Jim suggested a huge Swiss Army knife to wear on a lanyard aroud his neck, probably not the best idea in the world!

Does Jeff like church history? How about a biography of somebody like Luther or Wilberforce or John Owen or Charles Spurgeon? (I would suggest that you avoid Joel Osteen's "Your Best Life Now"...)

Cam-

Having lived there and being a father, I say you should either take him to dinner at the fancy steak place at the top of the best mall (what's it called?) in POA, you know the one that smells like aged beef and lets you watch them grill it,or take him to german brunch at the old house on the hill restaurant which is to your right on top of a hill several miles past Dois Irmaos... if you stop at the sandwhich shop/backery on the right after DI they can direct you... if it's still there (we've been gone 10 years)... it's at the turnoff to "Batatental" a german colonia to the right (of course it's not marked...) as far as a gift, get him a silver bomba with his name engraved on the back, found in better jewelry stores in POA... by the way are you in the former Sutton apt or Hipps apt? say hi to all there esp the Ijui folks from the old days... and who's in our house in NH?

Stan,
WOW--what great ideas!!
The bomba is a definate possibility, if I can ever figure out how to cure a cuia without it molding first.
I think I know the restaurant in the mountains to which you refer. It's our regular stop when we take visitors up there.
We have one family in NH now, I don't know if they live in your house or not. They're Daniel and Theresa Allen, SCs for the German population in SAm.
THanks so much,
cam

Cam- the secret to the cuia is BOILING WATER, BOILING WATER, BOILING WATER... fill it w/ the water and let it sit til the bubbles stop... most cuias are still live vegitable matter when you get them and take awhile to die... especially w/ the mold of RGS...
