She sounds like quite a remarkable woman. You are very fortunate to have shared part of your life with her. Those sand tarts do sound yummy!

What an inspiration! We should all grow older with as much enthusiasm and excitement as your aunt. She sounds positively, well, delicious.

This is a wonderful post.

Paris Parfait

What a sweet story! And sounds like she was quite the baker.

Strauss

The sand tarts wre also very intriging.

Nice to "see" you here and thanks for reading and commenting! I enjoyed my visits to your blogs very much.

Paris Parfait — It's interesting that you say that, because I'm realizing how much baking was part of her identity. And the more exotic the treat, the better.

Maryam in Marrakesh — She WAS delicious. I'm glad she was in my family. She's such a great role model for being an "older" person (I'll never say "old").

Beautiful post. She must have been a great lady. It is important to post our memories of these significant people in our lives as through us and our writings, they live on.

KG

Sarala — I really like your point about people living on through our writing.
