Awww,now you went and made me cry. Naming a kid after me. Soooo, yes, I have, (had), red hair very much like hers and brown eyes. I've always been mature, but terribly mischievous and would do dangerous things if dared strongly enough. (Picture a small child leaping across gaps in roofs of very tall apartment buildings like super heroes and stunt men do and you've got me to a T! Yes, I really did that.) The only lime I like is the fruit. I love to eat anything with lime in it and drink gallons of limeade every day. My favorite color is red. Shy? Yep, I really am though you wouldn't know it when I'm typing.
Simstar, I loved reading this story so far. You have brought that marvelous family out of the depths of despair, (the basement), into the sunlight and raised them to be not only beautiful, but amazingly interesting people. I never would have thought Mom and Dad would leave the basement but so glad they did. I can hardly wait to see what happens with all the children. You really should write for publication you ARE that good.
