I love an afternoon tea/coffee moment with something sweet. Now and again I prepare a cake, or some dessert instead of a dry cookie. The pears and apples are becoming overripe in the fruitbasket.

My sister died suddenly, in her sleep, almost 14 years ago. We didn’t have that close contact as children, because we were so different, but we surely found each other in our late twenties.
