Last black and white - I promise

     This photo is perhaps seven years old but it's one of my favorites of the little (at the time) cousins. While Rissy is of purely European heritage and Lexi is a mix of European and African,  we never even consider the 'color' difference - to them it is certainly of no consequence - so the title of this post, while politically correct,  is genuinely inaccurate. Even their age disparity has never been an issue; to this day they remain best of friends.
