My two step daughters, one of which lives in northern California, and the other that lives in central Texas got together in Texas. They sent this selfie of the two of them, that exemplifies the type of people they are. Beyond the physical beauty, they are two of the sweetest, most considerate, and loving girls I've had the have the pleasure of knowing. Lisa on the right is 56 and has been a nurse for over 25 years. Balinda on the left is 58 and has been a teacher for over 30 years. It's always a pleasure when they come to visit, never any drama. They are the family I've never had.  |

You have plenty to brag about there Paul. Two stunning looking ladies that have spent their lives caring more for others than they do themselves I bet. They each have an occupation that is very demanding and specialized. FWIW I would have guessed they are half their age.

They look like 2 lovely people... And I would never have guessed their age. More importantly is that, from what you've said, their beauty carries through to beneath the skin.

Very beautiful, Paul, Orley, Mutt&Jeff. I would be proud too, as I am of my girls. Their in their mid-forties. My oldest tells me love can be stronger with people whom you share no DNA with. And I felt that way about my Step-Dad. Totally good for you. Anytime you get a pic it's a thing to hold onto

Been dad to these two from about 1982. Balinda was living on her own, and Lisa was living with us and then with her girlfriend in the apartment next to us. These were very independent girls. Both put themselves through college with very little help from us. (their idea)

You have every right to be proud and I did not read bragging, just pride and love.

Brag on !!! Lord, I thought they were teenagers. Exceptional beauty that apparently starts at the heart. You have every right to be proud. Now THAT is American Exceptionalism.

I was once told, it ain’t bragging if it’s true, and in your case, it obviously is!
