Rhubarb Slush


My Aunt Vivian passed away on Valentine's Day. Today was her funeral. It was wonderful to see the extended family again. And to hear the many stories and memories of this sweet woman. I remember her mostly from the Memorial Day family get-togethers. After decorating the graves, we would all go to her home for a brunch. And this brunch always included their homemade rhubarb slush. Interestingly, our good friends Susannah and Nathan bought this same home about a year ago. I told them about the rhubarb slush and they had second thoughts about tearing out the rhubarb plants in the yard. They thought they should probably get that recipe and continue the tradition. Susannah even came to the funeral today. So thoughtful.
