Lora has her first "crush."
It's New Year's Eve and she met the son of the son of a friend of ours, who is the same age as she. They become fast friends, spend the evening running around the house together. By midnight, she is smitten. They share a midnight HUG and toast each other with Sprite. On the way home, he is all she wants to talk about.
Lora: That Andrew is pretty nice. I think he's going to be by second husband.
New Year's Day...
We fix all the traditional dishes -- black-eyed peas for luck, coleslaw for fortune and mom's roast.
Lora doesn't eat much.
Dad: There are children starving all over the world!
Lora: Yeah, well I'm not one of 'em.
