Either you are the youngest and most exceptionally, gifted member of CWT, or you are the Father or Grandfather of one very cute boy!
Dawna
Well, actually, she's a girl. And she's the cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on. She's my second daughter and youngest of the litter. And I'm not biased at all in any way.
I was hoping her picture might soften my image a bit...
I would graciously try and apologize for my faux pas, but I know that it's not really necessary...she is adorable. But...I might challenge you...my daughter was/is pretty cute!
Image? Am I so new that I've missed a General Patton in our midst?! :-)

I'm not sure about Patton, but I bet Neil has a different name for me which he asuredly mutters from time to time. Maybe when he looks at my little princess he'll think more pleasant thoughts towards me as he types his response.
Any man who can assist in the production of such a beautiful little girl, will be called nothing but fortunate in my future postings. You are indeed blessed and I hope you enjoy many years in loving company with your daughter.
The one saying I have enjoyed and found to be most true, is 'sons leave, daughters come back.'
Sincerely,
Unionblue

Dawna, see, it appears my ploy is proving to be a success.
Neil, this sounds like you are enjoying the company of daughters older than my little one?
My daughter, who is our only child, is now 30 years old and still my prize, my joy and my pride. She has blessed me even more than with her presence by giving me two grandchildren, one a beautiful girl and one a most handsome boy.
Our children should make us want for peace so we can enjoy them more without worrying about the troubles of this world.

We have shamelessly digressed from the original intent of this thread, and perhaps it should now be called, "Children of Parents Who Would Have Liked to Discuss the 13th & 14th Amendments." But since we all have daughters, I would like to post a photo of my April (just to prove that she's probably way cuter than Ole's) and her Englishman, Darren, on their wedding day last September. And yes, it is a real elephant.
