our girl turs twenty today

[ct ertz]

Amber Dawn turns 20 years old today. she is my wife's oldest, and the only girl. I feel old.

Amber is bright, well educated and despite the fact that she easily catches the eye of most boys, she is inexplicably unattached. See picture. She also still lives with us, but is willing/wanting to move to England, Europe, or any where more exciting then Georgia.:)

I hope she finds her way soon. She is too bright to do nothing.

...she is inexplicably unattached. See picture.

It's the eyes. That's a look that burns through the insincere and untrue; guys fear that look. But ohhh, find just one with the strength to look back, and the very Heavens will shake.

Happy Birthday, Amber Dawn, and may you cut a wide swath.

Dear CT.
Please don't feel old.
Here in Holland we say "The mother of the devil is old" and otherwise ... you are as old as you feel.
My children all are married and have there own life. And every time i see one fly out , i feel 20 years younger.
Congratulations on the anniversary of Amber and a nice day. Good luck and health for her and the whole family

CT, just wait until the oldest grandson has his first legal drink....you don't know what feeling old is really like. Great looking family.

Too bad I'm a bit old for her. I'm also unattached, and think she's pretty, and I see a lot of excitement in her eyes.

I'll ask her if she has ever wanted o move to AZ! Your compliment is needed about now!

She is actually a bit bummed today, as she feels like she has been waiting for something to happen and it hasn't yet. I keep telling her to get out of her room and make it happen, but that age between high school and bars is a bit ruff for meeting folks. So she spend most of her time doing graphic design on the computer, and going for walks in the park. She has won online contests sponsered by advertising companies and has gathered quite a good portfolio. She just needs a direction! I tried to convince her to join the Air Force back when all the recruiters were calling and have tried to talk her into school for her design work, but nothing came of it.

I guess she will get there...

Sounds like she's got some good talents too. With her age, maybe steer her towards video game development, there's a big market for that (and a major school for it here in Phoenix) ;)

I could sure use some help in moving Oddball Productions to the next level. I've gor the engineering talent to design, but I just don't have the artistic flair to make good paint schemes. I'm stuck to basic 1-color or 2-color right schemes now, and camouflage is beyond me.

It'd be nice if she likes older guys too.

CT,

No, don't feel old. As long as you still play with models you will not be old. My youngest daughter is 34 today. And my oldest granddaughter is 20 already. Soon I'll be having greatgrandchildren. As my Dad used to say "I'm still middle aged, that's from 25 to 75."
So happy birthday to Amber,
George

Happy Birthday to Amber, and may she have many more, CT. :)
You have a fine family, my friend, and I and Mine wish You and Yours all the very best.

As for Georgia, I'd gladly be there now, as that is where part of my family in fact is, and I'd far rather be there than trapped here in (3rd world) NZ.

Kind and Respectful Regards CT my friend, Uyraell.

Happy Birthday, Amber!

Mine is approaching 20 soon...good luck to you both!! haha

If she wants to travel, support her...help her do it!
Too many of us lose the chance later in life to see the world.
Grab it while you can I say!

I had a similar conversation with my neighbor across the street. His time in a marathon last weekend qualified him to be in the Boston Marathon, but he wasn't thinking of going. I told him to think of it this way ... 20 years from now will you look back and regret not doing it? People generally regret things they didn't do far more than things they have done.

If she wants to travel, you should support it. It is definitely in the 'looking back 20 years from now' category. Good luck.
