Happy 50+ (ot)

Daughter Erin (your left, my right) and her friend Elena all ready for the Winter Ball.
Proud me in between.
Remember as you comment, this is my daughter....

That's our tree in the background. I realized that I gave eight gifts for my wife, and they're all cycling related. And yes, they are all things she'll be happy to get, it's not like I got Zipp whells for me because she loves to see me happy.

Congratulations on 1) having such a beautiful daughter, and 2) having her wear a modest prom dress.

My son, a young man more conservative than me (scary!) took a nice girl who he met at church to the Winter Ball. I was his chauffer. She was wearing a dress with a plunging (and I do mean plunging) neckline. I would not have allowed one of my daughters to have worn that, and when my 12 year old girl comes of age she won't wear one, either.

Don't listen to these creeps, you're a good-looking guy, too.

That would be "Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter".

Erin favors Tricia, with your coloring. She & Elena are pretty girls.

Nice cap, btw. Very jaunty.

Curtis, You have a beautiful daughter! I have four sons and no daughters. Ah, but I now have four beautiful daughters-in-law. I love it when a plan comes together. Merry Christmas to you all!

Wow. Thanks for all teh kind comments. I take no credit, Erin is all her Mom.
As for the dress, from my experience there is no dress conservative enough for one's daughter.
But in reality, she has pretty good taste and manages to pick out dresses that look shrap and not cheap. I've seen some of her friends, and with their hair dresses they look a bit like they might be looking to pick up a bit of extra money after the ball.

Really, though, I think she looks her best in her soccer uniform. From her black hair

Not only is Erin beautiful...she's an athlete too!
Fantastic.

Is Erin's friend Elena an athlete as well, or is she content with just being gorgeous?

You should be one proud papa. But you look just a bit smug for an old guy surrounded by such beauty and class.
