Pumpkin Bake-Off!

There’s nothing like a bake-off to start off the fall season! I couldn’t resist entering a recipe in the Royal Atrium’s annual pumpkin bake-off. The first prize of $25 spurred me on to bake the best entry and I found myself baking a variety of baked goods throughout the week.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, the final pick, won a second prize amidst the various baked products. It was a proud moment!

Besides all the activity, it was another way to divert and distract my father from his sadness. I feel that one way to help those grieving is to become involved in a variety of activities so they can view that life does go on and it can be good.
