is held in honour of a lady who was keen on history, loved desserts, and made a
fine cup of tea!

Charlotte raised a large family on a
busy farm. Should you arrive at meal time, an extra plate was quickly set and a
chair pulled up to the table. Meals were
hearty and always included a delicious dessert.

Long before “eat seasonal”
became trendy, she adhered to that practice with Rhubarb Pie in May,

Strawberry
Shortcake in June,
Strawberry Shortcake made with Biscuits
and REAL Whipped Cream
and Raspberry Whip in July.

Cottage
Pudding took care of any stale white cake, although very little ever
went stale in her house!

A neighbour
recently confessed that, as a teenager, he kept coming back to the arduous
hayfield mostly for the Gingerbread with Whipped Cream.

And everyone who entered Charlotte’s kitchen
knew where to find the cookie tin full of Soft Molasses Cookies, kept at child
level for easy access.

The welcoming abundance at Charlotte’s table reflected
the love and warmth she extended to those of us fortunate enough to have known
her.
Charlotte, Age 93
Charlotte preferred her tea black, perfectly steeped, in a china cup and saucer, if you please!
