Daddy was my date to the ballet (Giselle) last week. He took me to dinner beforehand and then we got to the ballet early and were able to have a drink and people watch for a while (he isn't as good as my girlfriends or Mom at the people watching thing, but he did a pretty good job, I thought!).
Daddy and me.
Two days after the ballet, Daddy picked Mom up from the airport and they came by the house for dinner. I'd set the table with flowers from the backyard (roses and Queen's Wreath) and used my nice china/flatware/stemware. It was such a pretty table, I took a photo! (Later, when Mom showed up, she did, too!)
